Anyone else used Flucanazole to cure Bryposis?

Turned the skimmer back on last night. Today is first solid view of receding bryopsis. Looks like it got a haircut and getting a little pale. Pretty incredible that it works as advertised. I've seen absolutely zero adverse reactions in any coral.
 
The only animal I had an issue with was an anemone, but I don't know if it was the medicine for sure.

This stuff really works and kills off one of the hardest algae to get rid of. My chaeto was fine too.

I would not be sad if my 5 anemones were impacted... So far they've had zero reaction (RBTA) so I still have the project of getting them all out to worry about...
 
Try this, take large pieces of coral rubble. Something big enough to cover most of the anemone. Place the rubble directly on top of the anemone.
It should, in a day or two, pull itself up over and on top of the rubble.
Simply remove the rubble and sell or donate the anemone.

Almost at the 2 week mark. Pretty amazing to see things in the tank that had been buried for a long time in algae. There's still a little bit on my MP40 and on a bit of tubing I keep connected to an air pump. Both are getting just a little light (supposedly light plays a big factor). They are still both quite reduced. I may do another round though just to make sure full eradication. Still have a few more days till the 2 week mark. Very amazing though to watch this slowly recede in such a simple treatment.

How big of a WC should I do?
 
I did a 10% WC. Ran carbon.

Give it a few more days.
It should eradicate every single strand.

Yep, slowly but surely, this stuff is disintegrating. Practically nothing left and still a few days to go. I'm going to do a larger WC only b/c I don't run carbon atm. Also since I probably could use it anyway too.

I had the same thing happen to me. This time I used half the recommended dosage and only removed my carbon. It worked just as quickly.
If it comes back again, I will try only using one capsule to see what happens.
It will come back, it's impossible to stop spores from entering from new livestock.

I hate to reactivate a dead thread lol.... But did you put anything in the tank since you first irradicated the bry? And do you know if it also killed bubble algae? I have a weird green thick film algae starting, do you know if it kills that? My main question though is if you intro anything to the tank that re-intro bry.
Thanks!
 
anything meaning corals/fish? Yes and I still don't have any algae issues in over a year

I am not sure about bubble algae, I can't remember if I had any at the time or not, I don't have any now in that tank.

I believe the flucanazol only takes care of bryposis algae.
