    I appreciate the bump, maybe it will catch Corailline's eye. ;)

    Just a bit of an update here.

    So i recently add a lawnmower blenny to my tank which seems to have started to eat the bryopsis and hair algae I have growing. I wasn't sure if he would really eat the Bryopsis or not because I had been told it was not definatel that he would eat it.

    I beleive the Mg being raised finally started to hinder growth and so is now finally starting to recede, either with the help of the blenny or with out. I think I will keep my Mg up for a little bit until i no longer see it in my tank but I have decided to start doing my weekly WCs. I figure with the Bryopsis retreating now I will try to cut off its supply of nutrients and hopefully kill it off.

    I appreciate all the information everyone has given.
