Bryopsis...I know I asked this before

[tony_caliente]

If most agree that there is something in TechM responsible for eliminating Bryopsis, wouldn't it make sense to remove your carbon? I am genuinely asking; I am not making a statement.

Thanks for reading and Happy New Year.

Carbon doesn't remove inorganic compounds, so you can leave it in. The trace elements in Tech M are inorganic. I believe the above to be correct, but anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Then why do you pull carbon when treating with copper?

If you do a search on what does carbon remove or similar, you'll find it stated it doesn't remove inorganics or metals very well. Not sure why you would stop using carbon when you treat with copper. Carbon isn't recommended to remove copper from saltwater, however, as far as I know. Only thing I know that removes copper is Cuprisorb and Polyfilter.
