LiCl is used to precipitate DNA and RNA after the cells have been lysed. I would not make any connection between this and the ability (or not) of LiCl to kill bryopsis in our tanks.Interesting that LiCl is used on seaweeds in DNA/RNA extraction.

Tech M has changed their formula or their formula and is no longer effective against bryopsis. Have used it
to kill bryopsis on many occasions and it was very effective and work within days. Have used it for months now
at a level of about 1800 with no effect. Have seen where others are also reporting the same results
I had the same results recently with Tech-m but one day I read on one of the forums that Jack Kent had started a new supplement company called Continuum Aquatics and that their mag supplement is sourced from the original Tech-m source. Well I ordered it and what do you know it obliterated Bryopsis stubbornly attached to a new frag in about a week!
how long ago was this and is this what you used
I used the liquid version found in the link below. I ordered and used in the beginning of July. Continuum Aquatics ACO30525 Reef Basis Magnesium Liquid for Aquarium, 16.9-Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BUFUIYC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_uQ58xbBF2WE5A
I just ordered some to give it a try in my system. How much did you add and at what rate did you add it?
In my 30ish gallon work tank I added about 100ml/day for 5 days and then let it sit without a water change for 3ish weeks. It raised my mg from about 1380-1800 according to my Red Sea pro test kit. IME it worked just like tech-m used to I hope you have the same results!
