My overall results have been very positive for treating both bryopsis and GHA in 3 reef tanks. Unfortunately, I did lose my 4 seahorses in 1 tank - they were eating and swimming ok at first, but then would become very lethargic and died overnight.
A couple things I have noted:
- Treatment seems to work best where light hits the most. I did a second dose on one tank since there was significant bryopsis left after 2.5 weeks, mostly in the shaded areas or deeper crevices of the rocks.
- My corals are looking great! Getting rid of the algae has been a big benefit to coral vitality.
- I've seen no ill-effects on any corals, fish, inverts, clams, etc. Only the seahorses didn't fare well, but not sure if that's due to the fluconazole or not.
- Fluconazole is NOT an overnight miracle! It took a few days to notice thinning, a few more days to have a noticeable difference, and almost the full 2 weeks for it to be gone.
- In my experience, my larger tank responded better than my smaller tanks. Maybe due to the density of the rockwork and amount of light, but it was definitely a big difference!
Hope everyone else has good luck using flucoazole! And crossing my fingers that it stays GONE!!
