Yes, for six weeks straight. It didn't do anything; no decrease in film algae on the glass, no affect on nutrients, zip.

Hi folks,
I don't know what ancient Lovecraftian evil I angered (hi Cthulu), but I seem to be cursed with eternally returning bryopsis in my 90 gallon SPS dominant tank.
I've treated the tank twice with fluconazole, and the same thing happened each time - all visible bryopsis dies off, and most of my acropora RTN/STN, despite obsessively close monitoring of no3/po4/alk. And within a month or so, the bryopsis returns.
My second treatment concluded a few weeks ago, and the tank looked amazing. Yesterday, I noticed a few tiny fronds poking their vile little heads up out of the rock work.
I would really, really like to stave this off before it becomes a problem, and I'd like to do so without murdering my acro population. So, there's zero way I am going to use fluconazole again. FYI, I've tried both Reef Flux, and Flux RX, with the same results.
Has anybody in here ever managed to keep this devil algae at bay WITHOUT fluconazole? If so, please let me know how!

Do
I vanished Bryopsis dosing Lithium. No coral harmful. Look for Triton Reagents LI
Thanks
If it’s just a small patch, and it’s something you can take out, then i’d Just blowtorch it.
As for flucanozole, and any other medication/chemical treatments, I always underdose first and see what that does. Usually half dosing treatments works just as well as full dose, and is less likely to harm your corals. Just for future consideration.
