Please let me know if this is the wrong or right stuff, I plan on dosing On the weekend.

It will work but you would have saved money buying it online. And 1500mg enough to properly treat your tank?

Thanks for letting me know.
There was only 1 capsule, I thought it was 10. Me bad.
Definitely cheaper online, I will be ordering some online before I use it.

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?

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.
