I used Flux RX and it did a great job and killing off the bryopsis in my tank several years ago.

Brilliant, sounds like it's good stuff then. Fingers crossed it works for me

God speed. I hear those things are things of nightmare.

User Avatar @Sapphire_Seahorse_75 20d

That's all I can find out about it that it's a nightmare, it's growing like wildfire. Hardly anything last night and so much more this morning

I’m battling it myself. Dunno if reef flux is working to kill bryopsis and it’s been tough on my tank. Been a real headache. Good luck!

User Avatar @Sapphire_Seahorse_75 20d

Oh gosh, how hard on your tank has it been? Im hoping it really helps mine but very nervous

I’m on my second dose now. First one was fairly uneventful. Bryopsis shriveled up but didn’t die. I had one Duncan coral get pissed off and I moved it to another tank. It’s finally starting to open up again after 2 weeks. Took two weeks off and Bryopsis returned. 2nd dose of Reef flux made my fish lethargic and not eat for a few days. During that time my clown killed my Benghai cardinal. Dunno if it’s related. Toadstool hasn’t extended polyps in a week and one of my oldest candy cane corals all its black flesh is bright white now. I got frustrated so I ripped up the digitata that the algae was infesting. Fragged all the arms that were clean and trashed the rest. So hopefully it won’t come back.

Im so scared this is going to be me, I dont have another tank i can move corals to if they dont like the treatment!

User Avatar @brother5of5 19d

I definitely don’t mean to scare you. Most people say it’s a miracle. I’m still a noob but I know that sometimes doing nothing could do more damage than taking a risk. But it is a gamble. Just being honest. Swing big though. Can’t let the bryopsis take over. That doesn’t help corals either.
