I am fighting a terrible outbreak of bryopsis and have tried most "solutions" eg slugs, crabs etc. During the initial outbreak, I screwed up by scraping the rocks in the display and not siphoning out the water . I am going to attack this in multiple ways
a) I am ordering a new and better skimmer - a H&S 200 3X F2001 - the A250 is a possibility also.
b) I am going to do more frequent water changes - about 10% weekly
c) I am changing out my phosphate remover more frequently
d) I am going to boost my refugiums
e) I am going to cut down my light schedule to 6-8 hours
Finally I need a UV - I know the pros and cons but I have to resort
to drastic measures. Or would that not help.
Any advice is appreciated
