Bryopsis Cure: My Battle With Bryopsis Using Fluconazole

[shimmer]

Anyone have experience with fluconazole killing snails?

During treatment all of my trochus snails died.

After treatment, is it best to remove the meds with carbon? I intend to do the recommended 20% WC at 3 weeks and another 20% the following week. I only had a couple of small patches on a rock and a few strands in the sand. It was all gone at day 3 using 20mg/10gal (4 capsules/40gal).

I wonder if this med targets through light somehow. All my bryopsis under light is gone… but the patches in the shade are fully untouched. Still looks too healthy. Quite odd. Im thinking of increasing the dose and see if it needs to be stronger to take out this crap

Yes, light definitely plays a role, it's talked about in the thread and it's also been my experience that the more light an area gets the quicker the bryopsis dies.

Definitely agree, i guess I didn’t thoroughly read. i saw that light helps kill it quicker but as time goes on its almost as if the meds stunted the growth and allow my cuc and urchins to slowly run over the dark areas as time goes by. Im at almost triple the dose at this point 3 weeks in and so far corals are happy and my rock has never looked so clean lol
