Fluconazole VS. Bryopsis Discussion Thread

[thebrinc]

I felt obliged to share some result-photos... 100% Bryopsis free!

I don't like resorting to chemicals on a reef but in this specific case I can't be happier. All fish, inverts, coral, nems and even more sensitive things like tunicates and gorgs are doing great.

So far so good!

Glad it worked for you, I can't see the picture you posted though.
How much of a dose did you do?

[thebrinc]

hmmm... not sure why they photo's no working.

I dosed 57 x 200mg caps... needed 3 for my frag tank.

I bought some from BigShow Frags in Hamilton and dosed 400 mg to my 20 gallon tank a week ago. Sadly, I haven’t seen any changes yet. No carbon and skimmer is off. The only thing I can think might be causing it is that temp is on low side 72F.

Don't panic, I recently dosed a cycle of fluconazole, by day 9 I could see some melting away, by day 14 all alfae was gone. Worked amazing.

Day 13 and still plenty of green. Water change tomorrow and then a second dose.
