It certainly did not kill it in my tank at all and I'm guessing the total lack of filtration made it grow even more because when I came back from a 5 day trip it was pretty out of control.

So if you were to ask me if it kills green hair algae, I would have to say no. If you asked if it kill sponge, I'd have to say yes.

Thats what I learned from my $50 14 day run with Flucanazole.

interesting.
are you a outside of a month since treatment? gha takes a lot longer to kill off than bryopsis does. in fact, i was probably saying the exact same things as you on week 3 then BOOM it all completely dissolved completely.
