I understand your desire to move quickly, but I don't believe that a few more days of bryopsis growth will cause nearly as much trouble as messing with the chemistry right now.

I would let the alk settle until next week (say, Christmas Eve)...keep the Mg around 1500. That's where my bryopsis melted...I didn't need to get it to 1600 or more. Test daily, let alk get back to a reasonable level.

Believe me when I say that pretty much every time I've tried to force things to happen, especially by adding chemicals, it's been a complete disaster. You've had way-high alk, salinity problems, a series of water changes all night...before you start dumping stuff back into the tank, I would let it heal a bit...
