Bryopsis Cure: My Battle With Bryopsis Using Fluconazole

[DracoKat]

my tank was cloudy for about an hour or so after dosing, then it cleared up.

Yeah mine started off with a dusty look and then it turned white.

Awesome, thanks! I compared with photos I took before I dosed and I do see a bit of a difference.

The timer starts now for me! 14 days! Wish me luck [emoji256]

I've tried to quickly go through the pages to find this answer, but where is everyone getting the fluconazole from?

Update: Nevermind, I found a link a page back. Sorry, but thanks for all the info.

Got 1500mg worth.. Wonder if it's enough for a reefer 450 after Rock displacement

I used 2000 mg on a 90.

So from what I've read, GAC and GFO are both off during treatment, filter socks and skimmers some are leaving in / on and some are out / off or overflowing, what about biopellets? Any issue with leaving those running?

dang think mine is 115 before displacement

The rule of thumb has been 200mg per 10 gallon. I dosed a little extra.

Hey everyone.... update day 8 video on my tank

The rule of thumb is 20 mg per gallon. Some are trying smaller doses to see the effect.

 

[rockworm]

For example, I have estimated my net g to be 480g. This required 9600 grams of fluconazole. I dosed 10k just because.

Yup, I ment 200 mg per 10 gallons.

 

[rockworm]

No problem. For me, fat fingers on a small phone. All I can say is that this stuff works and, so far, is my nominee for wonder cure of 2017.

 

[prsnlty]

1/2 doses didn't touch it in my 45g so far that I can tell. I put some hungry cuc in and they are most of what I had. Maybe it just made it tasty for them. Lol

Day 12 update

80g

Almost gone with just a few stands left underneath the monti. There are only 2 days left and I really hope I do not need to do another 14 day treatment. This is the only bit of bryopsis left in my tank. Bubble algae seems to be unaffected by fluconazole and the GHA seems to have stopped receding which is ok with me.

I wonder if I should try to manually remove the little bit of bryopsis left under the monti.

The areas that I manually removed seem to be having the hardest time dying the rest of the way. I'm wondering if it takes it in from the tips and works its way to the root.

 

[prsnlty]

I have the meds dissolving in tank water now and getting ready to dose. People who are running a cup less skimmer, do you have the bubbles pouring over the top? Or staying inside the body?

Kept mine inside

 

[Jimr7]

Has anyone done a second dose yet?
I still have tons of gha at day 12. Just wondering.

 

[nova65ss]

I did 7 days and 75 percent died did a second half dose friday.
