I am glad you found the thread, translated it and posted it to RC. I dosed the fluconazale last night.

I used Vibrant but stopped after a major cyano outbreak. The cyabo does not happen to every tank and this is just my experience. I posted the following on R2R earlier this evening (slightly edited to remove reference to quoted member on R2R):

"I started using Vibrant about the same time (early November) to deal with similar issues. I had GHA, some bubble algae, a little dichtoya, and lots of bryopsis. I was aggressive with Vibrant for 6 weeks, dosing every three days. This wiped out all algae except the bryopsis. I backed off to dosing every 4 days in mid December because of a significant occurrence of cyano. By the end of December, I was losing corals to an imbalance in chemistry and smothering by cyano. I stopped Vibrant the first week of Jan. I waited a week and hit my tank with Chemiclean. This eliminated the cyano within 48 hrs. It was in early Jan that I read about fluconazale impact on Bryopsis. I ordered it and last night dosed it to my tank.

I read that it will take a few days before any impact was seen. To my surprise, the tips of the bryopsis, after 24 hrs, are turning white. I believe that the Vibrant has weakened the bryopsis in some form and has accelerated the fluconazale effect. I, like you, have been losing motivation because of the bryopsis. It is too early to tell what will happen but I am hoping to see the same results that other fluconazale users are seeing. "

I ordered some of that stuff this week from a link on another R2R thread, gonna try it out when it arrives.
Results may be blurred as I just started using Vibrant this week

Sounds/looks promising. Bye bye Bryopsis
