With 3.5 tablets of 200mg, you can treat up to 35g of exchange water.Only problem I would have is that the bottle only comes with 10 pills. Leaving me with 3 1/2 pills if I had to do the early water change.

The Brand is CitronSome experiments with tablets had good results, others not so much. There may be differences in the composition of the tablets in relation to the excipients, depending on which laboratory they manufacture them, so it would be ideal to define a brand of use for more reproducible results.

There is no study on the residual effect of Fluconazole on algae after treatment. It would be matter to note.Want to get some opinions. Saturday will be day 14 of my treatment, which has gone very well. I have a little bit of gha left here and there but it looks very unhealthy so I'm sure its on its way out. I really planned on Saturday being my water change day. Should I be ok even though there is some gha left? Since it looks half dead already is it safe to say the medicine is in it enough to keep killing it off even if I do my 30% WC? Saturday will just be a really convenient day for me do get stuff done.
The Fluconazole tablets of Citron lab contain as inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, dibasic calcium phosphate anhydrous, povidone, croscarmellose sodium, FD & C Red No. 40 aluminum lake dye, and magnesium stearate.The Brand is Citron
1- For a 65g tank you should need 1,300mg of Fluconazole, equivalent to 6.5 tablets of 200mg / tablet.
2- Remove Purigen. Phosguard can continue to run
3- Yes
4- Yes
5- You should check the parameters (nitrate and phosphate) every 3 days and, if it is OK, do the partial water exchange at the end of the treatment. If there is a substantial change in the parameters at any time, partial replacement of water can be done by replacing Fluconazole in the exchange water in the same proportion as the initial dose.
6- I have not tried this brand of medication but from other experiences reported it seems to be effective.

No study, as far as I know, reveals symbiotic interactions between fungi and animals, not even studies on corals; the presence of bacteria, algae, protozoa and fungi on the surface of the coral, and that these microorganisms compose what is conventionally called "holobiont", does not mean at all that all interactions, seen organism to organism, are positive. More often than not, what is seen, in relation to fungi on corals, is that these are saprophytes commensal until the moment in which an imbalance occurs, becoming part of the pathogenic complex. No similarity, therefore, in the contribution of these fungi to the holobiont, in relation to the zooxanthelas, which inhabit the interior of the coral body and with it establish a truly symbiotic relationship, to the point that there is a real need for the presence of one for the health of the other.
And ... yes, Fluconazole most likely can affect any fungi, either on the coral or inside the aquarium and perhaps because of this, soft corals, which often feed by diffusion (as the zoanthus, for example), seem to present improvement in appearance and growth when under the effect of Fluconazole; perhaps (I merely suppose), under conditions of eutrophication and low circulation, the multiplication of microorganisms (including fungi) on the surface of the corals may be increased, as well as the thickness of the mucus, reducing the diffusion of the nutrients in this type of soft coral, hampering its development . In these circumstances, the fact that Fluconazole "alleviates" the burden of fungi on the coral may be positive (to be confirmed).

The article is correct. What I think is not correct is the interpretation you make of it. If you go back and read it calmly, you will find that I did not say that fungi do not make symbiosis with plants, algae and bacteria; They do. What I said is that they do not make symbiosis, that I know, with animals. Corals are animals, as you know, and I know of no fungus that makes symbiosis with them, but ... who knows, if you keep looking, you can not find one?If this article is correct... Wouldn't you agree that if fungi plays such an important role and floucon is so efficient at killing fungi that can disrupt symbiosis between the corals and algae inside of its structure?
Obviously, not all corals are being affected the same way by floucon but certainly some more sensitive SPS colonies are. Is it prudent to be ignoring this fact?
Zoltec capsules, Pfizer lab.Which brand did you try??
Read this, please:THIS MOST SIGNIFICANT PDF/article that suggests AND illistrates that there is in fact BOTH exterior and interior interactions between corals and fungi and that fungi exists inside the coral structure.

In Brazil, antifungal medicines do not necessarily require a medical prescription for the purchase, but in the United States it seems to be mandatory.Thank you!! Needed a prescription for it??

So, @coralcruze , I regretfully have to repeat to you that you READ, please, the article you yourself submitted as proof of your views, but did not understand.@josemayo. Firtly, i am unsure why you think i am not calm? Perhaps it is because you are not but i am perfectly calm observing this thread...But you did say...
I Showed you an article which clearly illustrates fungi INSIDE the coral interacting with the corals ALGAE. You state that fungi is in the aquarim of on the OUTSIDE of the coral. you also know that its is widely understood that algae and fungi symbiosis exists in plants. we both know that zoaxinthelli live in symbiosis in the coral. so please tell me why symbiosis between algae and fungi in a coral is so far fetched for you? even though its clearly illustrated...i would really like to know your reasoning that fungi althoigh existant in fact inside may not have a positive and needed interaction with the corals algae also living inside of its tissue... since you belive fungai is only interacting from the outside or in the aquarium... did you study the diagram?
@ jose mayo lol, you seem to be pushing Flouconozole...So, @coralcruze , I regretfully have to repeat to you that you READ, please, the article you yourself submitted as proof of your views, but did not understand.
The article says that the fungus in question, in the coral in question, is not a symbiont, but a DISEASE.
Read again, take it easy, and maybe you'll understand.
Be fine
@ jose mayo lol, you seem to be pushing Flouconozole...
Try to take a photo only with white lights, it is better for identification.But what's these black stubborn algae that I have growing all over my rocks ?
Do you think fluco will work for these too ?
