My macros are fine. Weird thing is that my fuge is still loaded with Bryopsis and GHA. That part I don't understand so much. But glad it is there and not in my DT. Anyone have the same experience?

+1!Carbon dosing would only be effective if you were running your skimmer. This might help, but as others have pointed out, it's possible the skimming could remove a portion of the medication. If you are carbon dosing, I suggest continuing so the bacterial population doesn't crash, however if you remove your skimmer, you won't be lowering your phosphate/nitrate during treatment.
Given how much a PITA bryopsis can be, my viewpoint is that bryopsis takes priority and if I have to do a couple more water changes after treatment to lower my nutrient levels, that's a fraction of the work I would have put towards battling the bryopsis . Sometimes you can't hit two birds with one stone, but given the magic bullet fluconazole has been, who's complaining
That's very interesting! Was anything at all in the refugium effected? Do you have any kind of clean up crew in it? Maybe you could isolate the fuge for 30min-an hour and target dose then return to normal.My macros are fine. Weird thing is that my fuge is still loaded with Bryopsis and GHA.

Is it possible that ergosterol and anything else affected causes the plant to be weak to light? That would explain the death from the tip down.My macros are fine.

Have not done anything with the fuge. Turned off skimmer for 10 days and stopped the reactor. Other than that I did nothing. It is weird. I don't quite get it. I have live rock, mud, and Chaeto in the fuge. Opposite light schedule from DT. Hmm. Not sure what the deal is. But like I said, doesn't worry me much down there. Just curious of others results.That's very interesting! Was anything at all in the refugium effected? Do you have any kind of clean up crew in it?

Not sure. I run a LED bar light in the fuge. So it gets good light when on. Really odd.Is it possible that ergosterol and anything else affected causes the plant to be weak to light? That would explain the death from the tip down.
Sorry to hear. None of my fish including the Kole even noticed. I did however treat it after lights out. Maybe that makes a differenceToday I dosed fluconazole... within the hour my kole tang was drifting on the Sand bed [emoji24][emoji22], I immediately pulled him and put him into an up and running qt that is med free. Fingers crossed I can bring him back, his gills and still functioning, and he has a little fight in him, I can see it. I'm not sure what the issue was after reading so many personal experiences with success, especially given that this is a fish treatment... anyways I added more surface agitation in the sump to increase gas exchange for my dt. I really hope this guy pulls threw[emoji22]
possibly, my two platinums, two wrasse, diamond gobi and Catalina haven't flinched, but the kole not so much [emoji17]Sorry to hear. None of my fish including the Kole even noticed. I did however treat it after lights out. Maybe that makes a difference
Did you use capsules or tablets? Did you also premix with tank water before adding it and in a high flow area? Was the Kole in the immediate area when added? Just trying to see what could have caused it. What is your water volume and how many of what mg meds did you dose?possibly, my two platinums, two wrasse, diamond gobi and Catalina haven't flinched, but the kole not so much [emoji17]
Pre mixed it with 4 cups of water, added it to right in front of the power head. It's only a 65gallon tank so no mater where the kole was at the time he'd have been pretty deep in the s*** pretty quick lolDid you use capsules or tablets?

Your all doing so awesome on digging for answers!

I have suggested somewhere in this thread that light may play a role in speeding up the treatment. So weak light in the fuge may be a topic. Also for the GHA reefers, the GHA takes longer to kill off than the bryopsis. I didnt start seeing the GHA go down until weeks 3 and 4.
Yes you did and I concur [emoji4]
As far as I can see there is no adverse effects, and I have still not done a WC since the 1st dose. Tanks looking great! Have i mentioned there is no skimmer on my 20g? Muahahaha.
That's the right stuff.... you didn't use all of that correct? How many did you use?Pre mixed it with 4 cups of water, added it to right in front of the power head. It's only a 65gallon tank so no mater where the kole was at the time he'd have been pretty deep in the s*** pretty quick lol
