Hot topic as of late that has been more or less solidified IMO, but tracking my results and progress.
The first time I tried treating Bryopsis with fluconazole it didn't work. I figured leaving what I believed to be exhausted carbon in the system wouldn't affect the results, but it clearly did. The carbon was a week old; the bryopsis was slightly damaged, but it didn't eradicate it.
This time, I removed my reactor entirely, including the carbon, and put my GFO in a mesh bag in the sump.
My total system size is 80G. I dosed 10 pills, 200 mg each. 2,000 mg for 80G of water equates to 25 mg per gallon. I bought the Fluconazole here.
I'll be using this frag as my reference throughout the treatment process and follow up with updated images every 24 hours.
Process:
I emptied all the capsules by simply taking them apart. I emptied them into a large measuring cup, filled it with tank water, and agitated it for a few minutes to help it dissolve some. I then dumped the entire mixture into my display, directly into a power head to ensure full dispersion of the mixture.
