At my WITS END!

Fluconazle is a common antifungal used to treat humans, pets, and many things. You can buy it generic and look up how to dose, or buy a "Saltwater Fluco" that's prepackaged for a higher price and do it that way. Only reason why I said "look up directions" as I normally buy generic and crush it and dose it mixed with water.

Reef Flux is the Saltwater Aquarium branded Fluconazole, but it's the same fluconazole as any other fluconazole.

wow then you got one choice left that i know that doesnt screw up your tank.

Rip all the rocks out and scrub the heck out of them?

 

[outhouse]

????????

reef flux

 

[J_Gard88]

I will give the reef flux a shot. I really really really dont want to take rock work out. And After exstenive cleaning I believe it would come right back after scrubbing rocks.

he has some chemistry going on that has made his water perfect for this bloom, is what it sounds like.

my tank will have no visible cyano at all, then if I use carbon, next week it will be all over. Sometimes small changes bring on this, but I have yet to see or hear about it since early reef central days.

This is a new one

so do i. I put all my liverock under the house once for 9 months to try and leach out phosphates. due to chronic GHA My liverock really wasnt leaching anything, but it did get rid of all my garbage and GHA growing on it

I can't grow any of these interesting types of algae (one of my reef superpowers), so I have to live vicariously through all of you...

 

[Blandon]

Could you send me a link of what your advising. I looked it up on google and some pharmacuticals are coming up that dont look like there for fish tanks,.

It’s called Flux RX, but don’t believe it work on Dinos (if that’s what you have)

 

[livinlifeinBKK]

How old is the tank?

 

[J_Gard88]

How old is the tank?

almost 2 years

Ive made all the mistakes over and over. and them made them again. We didnt have vibrant, or fluconazole, just different people meds and antibiotics just red slime remover and chemi clean. I tried everything over the years to combat algae. Many worked with a few good years followed by not so good. With practice im keeping a clean tank now, but ill have to admit its a combination of good water changes, and 40cc vibrant once a week in 300g system

sure does not look like any dino ive ever seen, but who knows. im lost

 

[blaxsun]

Have you tried a UV?

 

[J_Gard88]

I mean it doesnt seem to bother parameters or fish. I have to blow it off the corals everyonce in awhile to keep them happy. and its just plain ugly.

 

[J_Gard88]

I dont run a protien skimmer. And am considering getting one. Would this possibly help? I run a UV sterilizer but no luck with that.

 

[J_Gard88]

Could my macro algea in the fuge ( Which is the Red Pom Pom ) have anything to do with blooms of nuisance algea?

Skimmer probably won't make a difference. When was the last time you changes the bulb?

I don't think ti's going to solve this problem, but will solve excess nutrients? But you have a fuge already.... idk man. Not gonna solve the problem I'm 90% sure.

I doubt it.


Try to get an ID before you Fluco. Hopefully someone can ID it.

Maybe 3-4 weeks ago.

Should've asked this way earlier: what are your water parameters like?
