Fluconazole Treatment for Nuisance Algae

[Mfreddy]

Please guys be cautious with using this for everything other then bryopsis. Glad it worked for you mike!

I'm considering this treatment so I have to ask, Why? What are the risks?

Im actually just scared to be held accountable for this really, i shared this info on this medicine on reef2reef. So usually just say that to everyone, otherwise its a harmless treatment. But for bryopsis of course.

Thanks. Please take a look at the pic I've posted. Ignore the puffer and look above him at my returns. Can you see/identify the fluorescent green algae on them?

Is all you do is 1 treatment for gha. I have a 300g total water volume. So is 30 pills enough?

Yes. I have only 80 gallons and 8 pills worked flawlessly! Good luck!

I would like to try this treatment but I still need to identify what is on my return above to make sure I'm treating for the right thing.

Can anyone help? Pic is above.

Ya I don't have a clue. Have you tried manually removing it?

 

[Mfreddy]

I'm going to try that tomorrow when I do a WC. It's spreading to some of my rock.

Thanks Mike.

Quick question here........ is a protein skimmer necessary for the use of this treatment? Reason I ask is because I am running a skimmerless system. Thanks for the info.

I'm not entirely sure. I don't think a skimmer is necessary but you will want to use carbon at least, to get the medicine out. Good luck!

So...is this just a one dose treatment? Do I need to buy enough to have multiple doses on hand? I'm planning to use this for bryopsis.
