Does Fluconazole have any effect on chaeto?

[JollyReefer]

Wondering if a fluconazole treatment will harm my refugium.

According to this thread:https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/b...sing-fluconazole.285096/page-259#post-4994379
The user stated that it didnt effect anything over than bryopsis and GHA

I dosed my tank for bryopsis on 8/17 and I actually felt like my chaeto's growth increased (maybe because my skimmer was off and my refugium is after the skimmer section, maybe just my perception and I'm wrong) but it definitely didn't die as of now. I've started running my skimmer again and done a water change and added my carbon back in and my bryopsis was gone and my GHA had taken a big, big hit. I don't really care much about it taking out GHA, I just wanted it for the bryopsis.

FWIW I didn't notice any adverse affects to any inhabitants and I have snails, hermits, urchins, corals, fish, and an anemone, although I do see some potential bleaching on my purple stylo but it's in spots that are shaded by higher branches so maybe coincidence? Definitely still kicking and purple polyps over most of it, just a couple sections but maybe I'm being hypercritical because I dosed.

The fluconazole in the link from the petstore didn’t effect anything else in the tank.
The fluconazole in the form of Reefhd, killed off a lot of calurpa and chato and others.
Odd I know.

Different chemical compositions?

Different chemical compositions?

Clearly. Or higher concentration of the drug.

Just to add, I did use Reefhd Reefflux for my dosing and at least as of now my chaeto has not seemed to suffer.

All but a small amount of my chaeto died off but took awhile so it may have been that the cyano outbreak I had directly afterward coated the fibers enough to kill it off. Had to reinstate it from another tank.

My cheato cannot seem to recover. I have only done the 1st 30% water change. I hope it revives itself as I get more fluc out.

Worth moving my macro to a qt for a few days JIC ?
