[Reeftang]

Waiting is better
I had the same but it show they are start dying after 7 days
So just give few days and you will see.

Thanks

Day 10 im not sure whats going on but i think it might be a little lighter in color and shorter i do see my yellow tang picking at it a little which he never did before so maybe thats a sign that its dying, and i also see some bubbels in some of it maybe thats also a sign that its dying im not sure. But i definitely did get more gha covering my rock since i started this treatment.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

See what I’ve got looks different. Mind identifying this for me?

Day 12 no differnce still full and thick dosnt look like its going anywhere i think it did become a little shorter in some places but over all its not working at all and i dosed 2000mg for 50gal which is way more then recomended dose. If anyone has any advice on this please let me know.

That looks like GHA to me

and now what?

From what I’ve read on here it takes longer for the Fluc to work on GHA, upwards of 30 days. Dustin

Dont recall seeing 30 days but ok i guess ill wait a little longer20 days or so, if it dont work then it just doesnt work for my tank. Should i do even higher dose or try the old school method?

I read it in the first post. Everybody seems to have different results. If it was me I’d wait few more weeks before dosing more fluc. Dustin

I'd go with vibrant for gha

I heard about it, whats does vibrant do exactly? What is the ingredients?

 

[Fudsey]

Vibrant is a mix of bacteria that out compete algae for nutrients. There's a huge thread on it. You really need to watch you NO3 when using it though. They will drop fast and can cause a cyano outbreak

Sounds like nopox.

 

[Fudsey]

No idea about nopox. I know vibrant works

Figure out where all your phosphate is coming from. Then take action. Personally I've had great success with sailfin/lawnmower blenny

and now what?

UPDATE: So its day 16 GHA still here not going anywhere, although it did have a slight effect on some parts of it the majority is still there and i think at this point its safe to say that its not working for my tank and im going to start a different approach.

Just wanna told you guys i used fluconazol for my battle of briopsis and it was a success!!! I just followed the guide in first post. Kill all the briopsis in less than 2 weeks, included a bit of balonia i had. All the corals and fishes were perfect during all the treatment.

The only thing I regret is not having used it before!!!

I started Reef Flux 2 days ago and the next day my cleaner wrasse is missing. I dont have a sealed top but he’s been doing great for the few Months i had him. So if he jumped I can’t find him anywhere. Just curious if Fluconazole could have killed the fish. Would be nice if his just hiding, but he’s gone and no sign of him anywhere

As fare I know the Reef flux will not kill the fishes and coral
Is probably the wrasse hide him self in the sand and just give it time a d he will show up.
For using tge reef flux you should keep it for more days meaning more than 2 weeks because the killing process of the alge will start after 2 weeks, you can do WC but just go for 10% and monitor the PO4 and NO3 always to keep it balanced.
All the best
