Cheap magnesium supplement, like Kent. Raise it up to around 1600ppm. It is thought that it’s not the magnesium itself that kills the algae, but the the metals in the supplement. That’s why you need to use a cheap source. Has worked for me many times, with no known or noticeable side effects

There is a long thread on using fluconazole on this forum -its really good and details the entire process. I followed it to the letter and it worked amazingly. Its a slow process but if you follow it many have had a great deal of success with it.
