I'll just add that fluconazole is generally quite well tolerated by animals, but we shouldn't say there are "no adverse effects". You definitely seem them in land animals. There could be adverse effects, but we just don't notice them because they would be very hard to see in fish (unless the adverse reaction is death!). The most common adverse drug reaction would be gastrointestinal related, which we probably wouldn't notice in our fish. It is also possible for the drug to have adverse effects on the fishes liver, but again unless you necropsy dead fish or do other diagnostics you probably wouldn't notice. I would just to monitor your fishes appetite post-treatment and see if their feces look normal.

Anyways that is just FYI. This looks like an extremely useful tool to have for Bryopsis problems.
I think Warren had said that this medication was the same used for yeast infections or something of the sorts, definately any drugs used on a tank can have long term effects on the inhabitants. Some of the inverts are alittle more sensitive to medications aswell but all seem to be doing fine. I think that after a heavy treatment of any medication one should do a larger water change to try and dilute the system so it is less harmful.
