So after using vibrant and stopping due to a crazy cyano outbreak, I am left with bryopsis and am very curious about this method. Has anyone tried it in anything less than 20 gals? I have a 10 gal so accidental overdose scares me.

Oh man, I should have thought to grab you! Sorry man. You're in the right place though now, all you corals and inverts will be ok, only the bryopsis will suffer, and you get to watch! :D

I was just mentioning it because no one had mentioned that he only needs one capsule! ;)

Yes there needs to be the ability to sticky a post so it appears above all the pages in it's own little space... Then info such as that would be easily seen. (Because going all the way to the front is too much work :D).

Thanks for the link! So it says 1 capsule everyday for 5 days with partial wc between doses. Whats a partial wc? Seems a little relative. 5% ? I do a 10% weekly.

Nope!!! Follow our directions not theirs! Theirs is for treating a fungus on a fish. You only need one capsule! (it's a single dose treatment) Mix it with tank water and dose it into a high flow area, it doesn't hardly mix up at all but stir it until there are no lumps and dose it at lights out. Take your skimmer cup off and sit back for 14-21 days and it will all be gone. (Bryopsis is usually completely gone in under 14 days). Then resume skimming and you are good to go.

I did one capsule in a nano that has a total water volume of 9 gallons, so a little higher dose. Worked like a charm.

I dosed a 10g coral qt. Lost a hammer frag that was relatively new. Toadstool was unhappy but recovered. I used tablet so that's another unknown, and I only dosed 10mg/g.
