Can not get rid of Byropis!

[TrishK]

I have been fighting this nuisance for a couple of years. I’ve used Reef Flux at least 9 times and it gets rid of it but within a month it’s back. I have single dosed, 1.5 dosed and doubled dose. I have left it in for a month before doing a water change. Makes no difference, it always comes back. Can someone recommend a different brand of Fish Fluconazole that they’ve had success with? TIA

ETA- tank is around 200g when you account for refugium and rocks etc

Have you tried a UV sterilizer?

Flux RX 1 full doze will wipe out 100%

That has been my experience too

Mine as well. It was gone then cyano covered everything. Chemiclean clean for that now little green sprouts are growing back. I fell like I'm chasing my tail and am going to explore other methods than chems.

Why are you posting the same thread a second time when you haven't even acknowledged the responses in your first thread?

All my algae eaters nibble at it but only since I’ve been dosing vinegar and trace elements, which is odd. Probably a coincidence, maybe. Not used fluc.

in addition to Flux RX - pls. have Zebrasoma/ Lawnmover/ etc. fishes to contain algae AND control the nutrient in the tank. If the nutrients are elevated, the algae will come back.

I would consider a long spine urchin

Been there, tried that. They don't eat it.

You mentioned it comes back; is there a period where it's gone and then seems to re appear? I ask because it could have come back via contamination.

And nutrients are measuring next to 0
