Anyone experience any losses when using vibrant? I have a good amount of sps and I was wondering if vibrant affects sps in any way

No effects on my corals the one time I used it. I will say it wiped out my macro algae and it took 3 months after I stopped dosing it to get macro to grow again.

Any chance your macro was Sea lettuce? Trying to find a way to get rid of it.

I had it wipe out 3 gorgonians and Dragon's Breath in a seahorse tank. Never affected my SPS tank negatively though.

No sorry it was just your ordinary Chaeto.

There is a really great thread on Vibrant. If you haven't seen it or read through it I would highly recommend it. Lots of Q&A with regards to corals and users who report back with what is in their tank and if it impacted anything.

It is recommended to take any macro algae systems offline during the aggressive use of Vibrant. It is a good product when used properly. It works.
