    bryopsys aka demon grass

    I have had a major battle with it and can show pics to prove it apon request

    what I did to win the battle was as follows
    #1 increas mg by 100ppm per day to 1800+ I had mine well over 22k
    #2 remove all rock from tank and burn bryopsys off with propane torch
    #3 take the siphone and scrape the glass and suck all signs of bryopsys out of the sand and tank

    #4 if you have any frags that are covered attempt to trim enough polyps off to save the coral and toss the rest

    also I used epsom salt for my mag increasing
