Anyone used Vibrant to help get rid of Valonia?

I have some Valonia in my main display. It is not a huge issue yet, but it's the variety that is really small. I remove as much as I can manually, and also have the aid of a few emerald crabs, but it tends to find a way to grow itself in tiny spaces that I can't reach well.

I am considering dosing Vibrant, although I hate having to resort to chemical means of removal. Main concern is that Vibrant will kill my graciliara. I have a large amount in my display and it's really pretty. Anyone know if this stuff will kill macro algae as well?

it's a crap shoot with gracilaria.

I pulled my chaeto when I used it because from the research that I did it wouldn’t always kill macro algae but it also was not uncommon for it to die and end up causing more problems.

It was tough on my chaeto. Didn't kill it, but it definitely stopped growing. Did a great job on the display though.

Thanks for the input guys. Gonna give it a go. If it hurts my graci, I can always just regrow it. Stuff grows like wildfire in my tanks.
