    Default Tech M to the rescue!

    so I carried over my bryopsis problem to my 105. I tried dipping frags in peroxide with mixed results. finally decided to use tech m, and started dosing a cup a night after lights out(just when I had time not sure if it made a diff) and after 4-5 days it has disappeared. also my coralline started to grow like crazy. all my coral is fine no sign of stress. i have been holding mag levels at 1800-1900.
    sorry I didn't take any pics

    Same here. I've been running high mag for a few weeks now. Bryopsis is all gone, crazy coraline growth and my SPS exploded. One problem I did have was that my dendro colony seemed to not "grip" food very well. It would typically stick right to the polyp but now it just rolls right off. I've managed to feed them by gently putting food right on the polyp. Other than that, no problems at all.

    The key to the TechM is finding your base mag level then going 20-30% above that number. I raised my mag levels by 200ppm per day with no I'll effect to the tank. Then once the bryopsis was gone I let the levels drop on their own to a normal reading for the salt I use.

    yup john I agree, once you hit that target ppm all you have to is a lil calculating on consumption per day and hold it. once you hold it steady the stuff just disappears.
