I dosed fluconizole in my tank 2 weeks ago as I had bryopsis covering a large portion of my tank and growing on live corals causing STN. I tried aggressive water changes to no avail. It’s mostly gone now except for some algae (GHA I believe) on some snail shells as well as a couple straggler pieces of parts of corals that STNed.
When I do my water change today, should I add more fluconizole or call it?

It really depend on you can see any more bryopsis or not. If you need to dose it again then I wait wait a few days and then do it again. I also dose a little stronger than recommended, depending of what you use. I use Reef Flux and dosed 16 tabs for a 120 gal tank, recommended dosage is 1 per 10 gal.

it takes a few weeks for it to clear away most of it, if you have a lot, you might need to run another dose.

i would do WC, run carbon for 1 week and re dose. Also try to remove as much as possible manualy.
 
I waited 2 week's before I dosed again. I have 2 days left then doing a big water change . Hope I got it all this time
