    Justin, Bill's right. This stuff is a hobby killer, if not treated rapidly and agressively. I've been fighting a losing battle for almost a year near on my wife's 60 cube tank. I scrubbed mulitple times a week for over 7 months with no luck and no decrease in bryopsis.

    Personally, I've had some success with elevated Mg levels, but I'm still contemplating tearing the whole thing down and starting over.

    Cory, before you tear it up...

    The ONE THING I didn't try, that I'm kicking myself for...

    I still had (have) a Hiatt single torpedo. I put it on my tank after tearing it down - and I really think it might be responsible for it not coming back. There's just no way I could have gotten it ALL when I tore the tank down. And there's not a spec in it now.

    I sold 2 of the torpedos - maybe Jose? If there's one floating around, you might try it.

    Thanks Bill. Don't know too much about them, but I'm googling it right now.

    Might also pm Richard (former CB Pets owner) - he may either have one, or know where one is.
