First off, I did do a quick search and found nothing regarding the Surf2 algae scrubber from Santa Monica Filtration.

Does anyone have any experience with them?

I'm still battling with bryopsis. I've been using Tech M at a level of 1800 to 1850 for well over a month now and it's had some </em>impact on it but I feel like I still behind the ball on this crap.

It's making me nucking futs. I'm almost at the point of dumping a gallon of Tech M into the tank all at once.

Either that or move all the corals, fish, shrimp and clam to another tank and pulling out all the rock and either tossing it and starting over with new, dead rock or bleaching the crap out of my live rock.

Can you say frustrated?

Will a Surf2 algae scrubber have any impact on the bryopsis?

I've no idea what's feeding it.
I picked it up from some frags that I bought. Before I knew what a PITA it was.
From all that I've read, it can not be starved (thus the question about the scrubber).

I feed the fish/corals every third day and very little at that.
They seem to be doing fine.

I am not running a GFO or Phosguard.

All water parameters are spot on.
I know that algae can throw off some of the parameters but still, I'm at my wits end with this crap.
 
I always go with the shotgun method:

start using GFO or phosguard (a reactor is most efficient)
less feeding
stay with the tech M
get a bucket soak any rock you can in H2O2, rinse and return
add more herbivores
manually remove as much as you can
