Fluconazol & Metronidazole at the same time?

[Rakie]

I'm dosing fluconazol for algae, and I've killed off Dino's with metronidazole previously.

When I was killing off algae before, Dino's came out of nowhere, so I'm a tad worried they may come back. I did some searching but failed to find an answer.

So would adding metro to flucon be an issue? Or am I good here?

No idea. I've never combined the two. I'm doing fluconazole in the tanks at work, but the only thing that has died off is bryopsis.... no other algae. This is probably a good question for the bryopsis thread where they discuss using this med at length.

Yeah I thought about that thread, figured there may be more experience here.

It's killing off my GHA pretty handily, my bryopsis is slowly dying off as well.

There shouldn't be any issue as both are intended for different purposes (fungal and bacterial), both medication should perform as intended without effecting the other. Regarding effectiveness
I agree with @melypr1985 , algae is a photosynthetic organism that can be under different kingdom classifications. From what I read it is intended to kill of bryopsis, but some had success with other types of algae, im not expert in that topic so I can't help you much with that regards.
Best of luck.
