Kent Tech M vs Bryopsis

[Damon.Webb22]

I have had a few patches of bryopsis pop up. I have used Tech M twice to battle it. And both times it took two applications and then wait a few days and BAM gone. Nothing bad happened to my tank at all.

When I had bryopsis I dosed enough to raise mag 100/day up to 1600 also it worked great for me with no ill effects

My experiences using it with success were that I only needed to use the product, I did not try for a target Mg #, just used it.

Took no more than a week to wipe it out in any of the 4 cases I've used it.

I just filled a syringe with the Tech M and killed my powerheads and return pump. Waited til the water was calm and squirted the Tech M (man really should be Tech 9 lol) directly onto the bryopsis. I then waited around 15 mins and restarted the pumps. Did that once a day for two days then stopped and BAM gone in four to five days.

after almost 3 years without bryopsis, it has made it's way back into my tank. Just received 2 gallons of tech M. Hoping for the same results!

Thanks for this thread. Battling some bryopsis and just ordered some of this and a mag test kit as well as a phosphate reactor - hope I get the same results

Mine doesn't really touch it. Maybe once it's off the rocks and floating.

Not sure about the emerald crabs going after bryopsis. Might be specific to that certain emeralds? The Tech M worked x 2 different times for me.

I am battling bryopsis myself now I don't feel like spending $20 on a Magnesium test kit, so do you think I could just get by by dosing a few ml a day? Or should I dish out the 20 for a tester

I also have two tanks I need to treat. A coralife biocube 29 and biocube 14. How much kent tech m magnesium should i buy?

Anything you dose you should always measure. Spend the money on a test kit
