Best tech to control algae/bryopsis

[Scuba_Steve]

Been out of the game for a while.

Almost every tank I have ever had has had issues with repeat algae outbreaks and especially bryopsis. Man I gate that stuff. Completely killed my last tank.

What is the best tech to battle all of this nowadays? I know good skimming and macro algae is the obvious ones. But gfo, biopellets, vodka, etc. What is the current diagnosis on what actually works best for nutrient control?

Thanks!

Kent's tech M dosed up to 1800 and maintained there is the current method for getting rid of bryopsis.

Red Sea has a product called NoPox for nitrates and phosphates that I've had great success with. Some are dosing the vodka, vinegar or sugar. I tried sugar at one time and it worked to get the N and P down but then I had an outbreak of cyano.

Anyway there is lots of reading here on the subject and the search button works very well for this site.

I ended up having to dip all my rocks and coral in RO/DI water and hydrogen peroxide to finally rid my tank of bryopsis. It ****ed off some coral but I was able to also get rid of bubble algae.
