Bryopsis!


I am such a dumb***!
After struggling with this stupid bryopsis problem for months, I finally realized that I was totally disregarding a basic fundamental of nutrient export. Namely the export part.
This is my office nano, a ten gallon basic setup with a 150w 10K HQI, auto topoff, Seaclone 100 skimmer and a hang on 'fuge.
The 'fuge has razor macro.
Four weeks ago I realized the 'fuge was completely packed with macro to the point that there was no room for new growth. I began pulling several large handfulls out once per week and in the past 4 weeks the bryopsis has receded dramatically! I estimate that it is probably about 30% of what it was a month ago.

Here are before & after pics.

Very funny Joe! But accually I probably could. I just put a UV sterilizer on the 46 and within about 8 hours I can notice a difference. I do need something for the 16 gallon though.

I throw away about a cup a week. It's the razor type stuff. If anyone wants some I'll start bringing some to the meetings or give me a call & stop by anytime.
