I need HELP PLEASE!!!
I have had a problem with Bryopsis for quite some time now because I didn't learn the importance of quarantining new things to my tank back when I got started.
I have tried raising my Magnesium levels to ~1600 and have had very mild success in conjunction with manual removal. I have also tried DinoX aka AlgaeX back before I encountered this problem to eradicate a Dino problem I had at the time. It worked with some consequences that I would prefer not to relive.
So, now I am considering replacing the live rock in my tank to say screw it and try fresh. I do have a range of LPS and SPS in my tank that I can remove off the rocks that are free of the nuisance algae and some that would require some dipping and quarantine before being replaced.
The worry I have is how is this going to effect my tank? I have my Nitrate, Nitrite, Phosphate, and Ammonia levels to the point of being undetectable and I don't want to replace the current live rock with new live rock (cured live rock, from LFS) and send those levels from nothing to something killing off my Coral and Livestock.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
