Has anyone tried this?
I was using Vibrant and getting ok results. The Vibrant wiped out my bubble algae and made my water very clear. The Bryopsis was a lot easier to remove but it wasn't dying like I saw it work for others. So I came across this thread at reef 2 reef. I guess I can't list other forums. You will have to fill in the blanks.

You dose 20mg's of Fluconazole/gallon, which is used as a fish fungus treatment. You dose once and wait. The meds start to show results in a few days. Within 2 weeks the Bryopsis is gone. Seems that it also kills hair algae which also disappears during the 2 week wait. Some folks turn off carbon, skimmer, etc. Others leave it running. After 2 weeks you do a water change and your done. I am now 4 days into treatment and my Bryopsis is looking pretty beat up.
The picture on top is day 1. Lower picture is day 3. Today the Bryopsis is all matted together.
