How I beat it:
1. Address any nutrient issues
2. Start dosing fluconazole and Vibrant
3. Increase water changes
4. Test your water very often for nutrient fluctuations and keep a stable alk

Eventually you will be off the fluconazole and on a maintenance dose of Vibrant.

What you do after that is up to you...at least that’s where I’m at.

I’ve tried other measures, this has worked really well, for me.

Good luck!

Fluconazole by itself will kill Bryposis pretty effectively. I had an outbreak that came in on a frag plug. It’s had spread all throughout the rockwork. Does the recommended amount of Reflux and it was gone within a few weeks.

Fluconazole is a godsend for me. I’ve used it three times now, but after a recurrence the first two times, I now use Vibrant. The Vibrant will be at maintenance dosage, ongoing. Unlike fluconazole, Vibrant is a bacterial additive.

When I used Fluconazole I was very fortunate that it wiped it all out and never came back. I did leave it in the tank for over a month before doing a water change though. Not sure if thatmade a difference. I have a bottle of Vibrant on the shelf also. You really have to watch your nitrates when using it. They will definitely bottom out. I was at a point where my nitrates and phosphates bottomed out. Then Dinos showed there face! That battle was not fun! Been dosing No3 and Po4 ever since.

Fluconazole works. Here is some nice document evidence if you would like to

Greetings fellow reefers. I was doing some upgrades on my tank this weekend and realized I didn't have any place to to talk about them so I figured it was about time that I start a build thread. However I am going to have to play a bit of catch up since my tank has been running to a while...

One word of caution from my own experience would be to watch you Alk closely over the first couple days of treatment. I saw some evidence of decreased ALK usage for the first few days. If you are using a doser for ALK it could be possible to spike you levels if you aren’t on top of it .
