So I’ve been dosing vibrant for about 6 weeks for hair algae with no change. I dose right after weekly 10% WC. Should I continue or quit and try Fluconazole?
90 gal

Phosphate .03
 
I'd try continuing but I totally get that feeling. I'm currently on the 10th week of dosing vibrant for valonia and I didn't see any difference until 8 weeks in.

I'm starting to see them fade in color and there's definitely progress when I look back in photos and videos. But they're gradual so I wouldn't have known if I didn't have photos.

You can try reading UWC's (manufacturer's) response on R2R thread to see how many doses before they expect vibrant to work for your specific algae. For Valonia it was 3~9 weeks so I decided to continue on for 12 weeks just for good measure before judging if it's working.
