If you used 10 capsules then you're good to go. You probably have around 100 gal total water volume so 2000mg is right on the money.
You have 5 left of the 15?...Or you ordered 20.....dosed 15 and have 5 left?
I dosed 15 and ordered 20

Yes there are many species!Here is a good question though...there definitely seems to be different strands of bryopsis...some that are easily killed off, and some that are literally impossible, so this may take some time to get a general success gauge.
Amazing stuff. I just cant get over how well its working out, hopefully this info will get out there for everyone.@Sabellafella, thanks for the heads up on this! Seriously! My bryopsis is in it's death knell. Things have happened in the last 72 hours that I never thought could be possible.
One of the first! Thanks for sharing, your tank looks great!This stuff works very well. I am free from bryopsis since last december after 18days being treated with flucon. Mixed reef, fishes, inverts and urchins survived with no sign of effects whatsoever.

Thanks randy,very very good info here!I would just add a possible mechanism that is beyond thinking the fluconazole directly kills the bryopsis and few other tank species.
Certain fungi (such as Rhizophydium littoreum) are known to grow on bryopsis (Bryopsis plumosa) and not on many other algae types.
That relationship is not known to be required or to be mutually beneficial (probably not been actually evaluated scientifically), but it does connect an antifungal to bryopsis in particular.

I rarely post on here ( or anywhere for that matter) but I just felt I had to on this one. My tank is about 2.5 years old. The first 1.5 years I was really happy with it but then a year ago the bryopsis came in and took over. Really ruined the hobby for me. Lots of amazing things going on in the tank but all I could see was the bryopsis everywhere. I tried everything and would make some inroads but could never get rid of it completely. About a week ago I tried this and its almost gone already. I see no negative effects on anything else so far. I am not naive enough to assume that it is "perfect" but it seems pretty darn close! Most importantly I am excited about my tank again!!

Glad you didn't quit!!! Think how many others haven't stuck it out for so long! Pests like bryopsis and dinos don't just hurt your corals and tank, they hurt your pride and your bank account. My back is already thankful my bryopsis is dying and magically being transformed into biomass
All of this makes me think that likely the fungus that shares a relationship with byopsis must also make the bryopsis unpalatable to many things. It didn't take long for my diverse clean up crew to exploit it as a resource after dosing the fluconazole. Pretty awesome!
