I've had a terrible battle with turf algae and I finally decided to try fluconazole. Fortunately, after ~6 weeks all of the turf is dead and gone. However, the fluconazole being in the water this long has begun to wreak havoc upon my corals.
I've lost most of my SPS. They appeared healthy until about a week ago when things started to RTN/STN. I lost my favorite turaki after the flesh all melted off to expose the skeleton in less than an hour. Most of my acans are looking really poor and don't upon up at all anymore. Almost zero growth on anything but one colony of zoas. Prior to the treatment I was getting noticeable, daily growth on everything. BTA lost all of his color, but fortunately I've already got him on the mend and colors have returned.
Sob story aside, I'm doing 30g water changes 1/day on a ~350g system. I can't make water quickly enough to change out water faster than this. I've also loaded up on carbon and GFO while skimming as aggressively as possible.
My question is: Is there ANY way to remove the fluconazole safely/quickly other than these methods? I'm five days in to my aggressive removal, but things aren't looking good.
