Algae identify

[Matt F]

Hi I’m new to posting. And I have a 57 gallon deep blue rimless tank and a 29 gallon sump I am growing some Cheato. I started to help my father with his 240 gallon tank last year. So I’m some what new just started the 57 gallon in August I’ve been putting coral and a couple fish in at a time and in the last couple of weeks this Algae kind of looks like a feather started to grow. Whenever I did a water change I would try and manually take it off but I couldn’t ever get all of it. So if someone could help me identify it that would be great! Here are some pictures

Dtfnemo ok thanks

Dtfnemo ok thanks

No problem, I bought mine in amazon and had no side effects other than a little algae bloom from all the bryopsis dying. Good luck

You want The fluconazole. Trust us.

It will but it will take longer and more doses. I did fluconazole first and now I'm using vibrant weekly just as maintenance

 

[Dtfnemo]

Cloudy/hazy Water- 1 dose
Diatoms - 1-2 doses
Cyanobacteria - (Yes, it will outcompete another bacteria) 1-5 doses
Dinoflagellates - 2-5 doses
Bubble algae - 3-8 doses
Hair Algae - 3-5 doses (depending on species of hair and how bad the infestation is)
Turf Algae - 8-20 doses ( again, depending on species and how bad the infestation is)
Bryopsis - 6-30 doses ( again, depending on species and how bad the infestation is)

Those are the doses they recomend

My bryo went away in seven days at a single dose of 20 mg per gallon.
I left it in for 20 days before a water change.
