All at once, but slowly, over a few minute so it's not highly concentrated in one area.

I dosed tonight. 650mg of active ingredient fluconazole into 34gal of water. (Each 200mg capsule actually contained 380mg of powder)
I am curious about the uv exposure thing. Anything I run across specifies UV-254 and UV-210 as the degrading UV. You say to turn off leds but I have serious doubts that any aquarium led fixtures have any real UV in them. The lowest my fixture has are 420nm, 450nm, and 460nm. Not sure we need to be turning off our fixtures or am I missing something? I guess is you have anything under 400nm it may be wise but even so... 400nm is a far cry from 254 and 210.

I'm currently running 4 blue plus, 1 coral plus, and one purple plus while the meds are in the tank, i have my actinics off, if anyone is wondering if t5's are ok for the treatment, i guess i'll know soon enough.

I did not changed anything during treatment. Lighting schedule, intensity, dosing etc remains and all bryopsis are gone. GAC still in my sump, the medicine works.

24 hours in. I have not turned my LEDs off but I did turn off the GFO, carbon, and skimmer.
Here is our little bryopsis friend. It isn't happy! And a close up of the bottom right.

Cool. I started up a small 10 gallon tank to run an experiment on. I placed 2 rocks in with 100mg of diflucan, and 5 gallons of tank water. Heater, power head, no light. I am hoping it also kills neomeris. I will post pictures if it works.

I've been following this thread and I have some Bryopsis in my tank, but nothing like what you have got. My 1 or 2 spots of it you guys probably wouldnt even notice. I find it very interesting what this stuff does. It looks like it works well. Im just worried that if I put it in my tank to clear up the water then my tank will be dependent on it. Thoughts about that? |

Nothing better than the feeling you get watching bryopsis die. I hate this stuff so much i used to pull off all the large chunks in my tank, throw it in a bucket and dump a bottle of hydrogen peroxide in with it just to here it fizzle and die. Whoever figured this out deserves reefer of the year.

I'm not sure if the tank will depend on it. This specific type of algae has to come in from somewhere. Right now it's in my qt so hopefully it dies and never makes it to my main system. Since its a 34gal tank my cost was like $3. I may use this during each round of qt in this tank... Seems like it works and is cheap insurance. Time will tell!

I had a full blown infestation in my tank, i have been purposefully not touching a thing in it, not even pulling out the dead bryopsis so that we can get an accurate representation of what it's doing.
