Are you having bryopsis issues? Or its just in one spot?

Are you having bryopsis issues? Or its just in one spot?

Hi Jgonz, yes before i install activated carbon, i think bryopsis is cause of high organic waste in my tank, but now my sand , live rock so clean. No gha, no cyano, no nuisance algae just little detritus.

Youre filtration system looks so natural and the coloration of your corals seems pretty nice! Well done!

whitrose02, i plant mangrove is for backup plan, for organic absorbent and good for water clarity, beside carbon activated. Today , i want to remove carbon activated and change to seachem purigen, many review is the best organic absorbent for quantity in the market and the clarity is over carbon
