I have used Reef Flux HD aka fluconazole in the past for bryopsis. I have been currently using Vibrant Liquid Aquarium Cleaner for the past 3 months that has helped rid my tank of bubble algae and turf. I would like to continue the dosing to keep those gone, because the bubble algae is at its final stage of the die off and I don't want it to return, but the bryopsis and GHA keeps coming back.
Knowing the fluconazole does nothing to bubble algae and turf. I would like to continue the use of Vibrant, but I would also like to rid the tank of the bryopsis at the same time before that gets out of control again.
So my question is. Has anyone ever used both products at the same time and had no issues with die off of fish, inverts, or irritation/die off of corals?
 
I dosed Reef Flux HD two weeks ago. Prior to that, I was dosing Vibrant for a couple of weeks. I did not stop dosing Vibrant during the Fluconazole treatment. The only issue that I have noticed is that many of my SPS frags have turned brown in color. My Pink Floyd Acropora was bright yellow, but now it's almost all mud-brown. My gold torch looks awfully deflated and unhappy. I will be performing a water-change this evening, and I will continue to perform them every few days for the next week or so.

I am saddened that my corals took the hit that they did, but I am quite happy that my Bryopsis is gone. I'm hoping that it stays gone so that I can continue dosing Vibrant to combat the brown hair algae and bubble algae that is present in my system. I'm hopeful as the brown hair algae is visibly distressed and dying.

Thanks for the heads-up. I do have 2 gold torches I have been dosing vibrant for 3 months. GHA is coming back constantly.
