UPDATE:

approx 2 months since bryopsis was eradicated from my system, and as of this week it has slowly started to make a come back in the same problem areas as before....


Not sure if maybe some roots were deep in the rock or what would of caused it to start returning. Might have to run another course of the fluc pills.

Anyone else experienced this?

My tank is still clear of the devil weed I ran the fluconazole for 14 days, how long did you run it in the tank for?

18 days before a water change.

Hmmm first I've heard. Been 2 1/2 months and haven't seen a speck in my tank.
A second dose should be ok. You're probably right, must've been some deeper roots it couldn't get at

I've been battling bryopsis for about 6 months although I'm pretty sure it's been in my tank much longer. It's not the feathery variety either, looks more like turf algae, but is definitely anchored in the rock.

I only have about 12 gallons, so I just need two pills! Anyone got some leftover? If not I'll buy some myself before transferring tanks!
