I think this is what I'll do this time. I want to catch it before it gets crazy like it was before.

1200mg of Fluconazole added. Skimmer off, ChemiPure out.
Question: Skimmer completely off or just no cup?

However you can also now find it under a brand name of Reef Flux. I liked getting it from the other place cause I could buy as much as I want, less packaging and I think all in all it was a bit cheaper.
Just no cup; The attached skimmer, without the cup, maintains aeration and pH stability.

Yup!

Bryopsis gone again. Skimmer online after 7 days. It has been 15 days total. I'm going to hold off as long as I can before adding back carbon. I did put AL99 into reactor as PO4 went up a bit. Back down to 0.006 ppm today. Macros great, livestock doing fine.

I am curious if the bryopsis came back. I've treated my tanks with fluconazole about 5 times, Vibrant once along with the fluconazole. Each time the bryopsis has come back eventually. Just popped up overnight this week. So, I ordered another $50 in fluconazole. I'm really fishing for a permanent fix, as fluconazole does not seem to be permanent.

It has not come back on the places it was originally but it was on a frag that was kind of out of direct light. It looked to be gone. A few weeks ago (its been months since I treated) I moved the frag of zoas and within days it started sprouting. I just treated again on Thursday, the frag is in the light so I am hoping this will take care of it.

I have some Bryopsis in my Triton system and may treat with Fluconazole before it gets out of hand. Is it necessary to do a water change after treatment or will just skimming and carbon remove it all? Thanks

I didn't do a water change. I just put carbon back online and my skimmer and just let it pull it out. I changed the carbon a bit more frequently, I think I changed it weekly for 4 weeks then removed it. I don't run it all the time.

I'm just at 3 weeks of fish flucon in my sps dominant Triton tank. Bryopsis is all 99% dead at the point (just a few very small spots left in the sand in low light areas) with no negative affect on anything accept chaeto.
Unfortunately yes. My cheato died back significantly but my flame algae and gracilaria are unaffected.
No. I ran UV the entire treatment.

It coming back because you are not solving the cause of the problem just trying to treat the symptoms.

Curious how he isn't fixing the problem. My understanding is bryopsis doesn't just pop up it's brought in????
