I have this algae growing, I think it’s Bryopsis, in one spot in my tank. It’s only growing in this one spot in my main tank. It’s also the highest point in my tank. Is there anything I can do to remove this before it spreads. I have some in my sump as well. I’m building an algae scrubber to help export nutrients.

Has anyone had any success with this? I’ve been battling cyano off and on since February, made changes to flow, reduced coral feeding frequency, stabilized nitrates, etc and I’m still battling it. I have Chemicleqn but been afraid to use it and was holding out as a last resort. I’m planning on trying it this weekend then I saw this when I was getting some other supplies.

Thinking I have an outbreak of cyano. I have a reddish brown algae covering the sand, and I’m having to scrape the glass multiple times a day and it’s making the water cloudy. Any recommendations? Not sure if this related, but I had bottomed out nitrates few weeks ago. I increased my feedings to twice a day, but this cyano seems to have gotten worse. I’ve been dosing NeoNitro and got my nitrates to 4 so I’m happy with that. Nothing appearing stressed. I’ve stopped dosing coral animos daily, and temporarily stopping feeding the corals incase this is fueled from a nutrient overload. My parameters have been decent other than my low nitrates. I’ve added more snails over the weekend too. Trying to combat this as naturally as possible.

So I tested parameters today. All looks okay. Nitrates are a little high but nothing concerning (I wouldn’t think). The only thing I see is calcium being pretty high. Anyone have any ideas why I might’ve had the cyano outbreak? I’m trying to make sure once the lights come back on that it doesn’t come back swinging, but I can’t seem to find the root of it. It could just be me not looking in the right place, but hence the questioning.
