I'd like to get some advise from those that have treated their tank with Kent Tech M.
I started dosing Kent Tech M on February 10th in order to get ahold of some of the bryopsis that has popped up in my display tank. On Sunday the Mg got up to 1800 (because I failed to test it daily), I tested again yesterday and found that it dropped back down to 1450, I dosed another 80 cc's last night and will test later today.
In order to pluck the longer algae I bought these https://www.marineandreef.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=tweezers&Search.x=0&Search.y=0">https://www.marineandreef.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=tweezers&Search.x=0&Search.y=0</a> I received them yesterday and will start plucking all of the longer algae the first week of March. I don't want to do it before then because I don't want to lower the Mg by adding freshly mixed SW.
My question is this - while the Mg is raised in the tank to kill bryopsis, do you think that I can use a toothbrush to scrub the bryopsis that is already wilting away? If the higher Mg already kills bryopsis off that is established, wouldn't it also kill off what is in the water column if I were to brush it off the rock?
I appreciate the feedback and input. I just want the stuff gone, I want my tank looking good again.
