Yes Fluconazole is a safe treatment for Bryopsis. Its general use is a one time dose at 200mg per 10 gallons total water volume. ex: 80 gallons total water volume after rock and substrate would need 1600mg of Fluconazole for a one time treatment. Let it stay in your system for about 15 days, and then perform a normal partial water change.

I have read that if you leave it in the tank long enough it can be, something like 4-6 weeks though

I didn't notice Fluconazole doing anything for Bubble Algae, but Vibrant Reef Cleaner will. I used it to clear up a stubborn Turf algae, and it wiped out all of my Bubble algae, as well. It will decimate any macro-algae that you have growing though, so stop use as soon as the nuisance algae is gone.

Hello all,
Can someone confirm me if the Fluconazole medicine I got is the right one.
Here is China its very difficult to get it, I had to bought from an online Hong Kong smuggler and send it where I live in mainland China.
The medicine is made by Pharmaniaga, a company from Malaysia.

It looks like the right stuff to me, and it describes the medication as being anti-fungal which is also correct.
Remember that it is just a one time dose of 200mg per 10 gallons of actual tank water. Take a cup of RO/DI water and dump in the contents of the Fluconazole capsules. Stir until it all dissolves, and then pour the contents into a high flow area of your system (near the return line if you have a sump).
Let the Fluconazole sit in your system for at least 15 days, and then perform a 20% water change. Skip any partial water changes during the 15 day period. You can still run your protein skimmer during this time, as well.

I'm 10 days into treatment and bryopsis is gone. I have some ulva that is starting to die off but it takes longer the same with hair algae. The bryopsis on the other hand started fading away a couple days into treatment and was completely gone after a week. I'm going to go a little longer before a water change just to make sure any bryopsis cells that may be lingering get nuked but this stuff really works.
And no issues to my softies, lps, sps, fish, cheato or inverts

Think I already saw someone plug it but vibrant has wiped out my bubble algae. It took about 6 weeks dosing every 5 days or so. I now use the maintenance schedule of a dose every 2 ish weeks. I was going to use flucan when some frags came in with bryopsis but the vibrant and manual removal took care of it.
