Hi guys, I didn't read much negative about fluconazole before treating my tank with it but man my sps absolutely hated the stuff!!!!!!
All polyps retracted / dissapeared for weeks, colors paled to near bleached and lost a couple of small colonies. Sad face. I removed dying algae most nights by pinching off into a syphon hose through a sock in the sump to keep the treatment at full effect. Monitored nutrient levels closely and saw no spike at all.
Product was Bryopsis Buster (new name for old Reef Flux). I've been told that prescription or pure fluconazole would not have these bad effects and that it's likely some impurity in the product I used. I'm sure some of you have tried one or the other. Can you share your experience please?
PS. bryopsis is still here. agghhh.
