I had a bad outbreak of bryopsis in my 300 gal reef and I struggled for a long time with it. I ended up trying flucanozole and it worked quickly. I was hesitant to do a chemical treatment but it ended up working out with no issues.
What if the algae is at the bottom of the tank, so I'm not able to drain the water level that low unless I remove all the livestock? Am I able to spot dose peroxide underwater directly onto the algae?
Hi sorry to ask here but I got directed here to find a video of yours which sets up the neros as parent and child, I have been through your videos but cannot find it, please could I have the link as I'm going nuts trying to set mine up. Thankyou
We saw something similar in the BRS160 when we treated bryopsis with fluconazole. I would also keep an eye on your alkalinity levels if you're dosing. Fluconazole treatments appear to inhibit your coral's alkalinity update and can cause them to spike.
Just want to say both the subjects and presentations are done very well. Not easy to find such professional and watchable content on YT.
Glad you liked it!
Can you do one on vermited snails
Fluconazole works great for battling Bryopsis! Just be patient and keep an eye on your water parameters. You've got this!
I did 4x fluconazole for bubble. Worked for both. Bubble came back, bryopsis didn’t.

It is shockingly effective. When we treated the BRS160 with fluconazole for a bad bryopsis outbreak, we started seeing results in less than 24 hours!
BRS please sell fluconazal with a scooper instead of in capsules.
Buy it infarmacy you can get in powder or tablets
Bought a Foxface rabbitfish fish, ate it all in three weeks. Not even a little spot left.
Mine too but then he stopped and they came back..

In that case, the Fluconazole will take care of what you can't easily treat with H2O2.

Thankyou so much
Will fluconazal hurt macro algae? I have a Refugium with Chaeto
Yeah
Yes it will.

I was able to beat Bryopsis with Fluconazole.
I wish it grew slower because I think it’s pretty 😅
For what it's worth, I feel the same about bubble algae!
