Hoping I can use this to kill off all caulerpa in the DT , I will probly use a bucket to house my refugium chaeto while this is happening or as crazy as it sounds should I treat my sump as a separate tank in the meantime and turn off return pump?

I really wish lol it would be tang heaven , but I’ve heard success using this stuff and I also have a lot of bubble algae so I’ll be happy if it all dies out

Been almost a week after dosing flucanazole and I think I’m starting to see signs of it working , planning on doing a 10g water change this weekend and then dosing it again. My tank has started to smell real tide pool like without the skimmer and carbon

Looks like a watermelon BTA. It does look a little bleached, but not too bad. Especially since you can still see the color in the tips.

That would be awesome! I’ll let it be and I know probly will move from the rock , gave it some cipro before moving to DT hoping it starts recovering. Other owner said it was floating around in the tank , mouth is fully closed so I’m hoping it will recover nicely
They are tough and with it being a green strain, it should stay lower in the tank and may even seek out shade to where it gets light from the reflection off the glass. As long as it does not gape at the mouth, start to lose tents, it should be all good.

Never realized that green like lower light , but ye most of them do go towards darker portions except one new split that likes the absolute top of tank lol
Hoping it does well , I’d rather not have to dose cipro again

Trick in mixing greens and reds, IME, is to run a crap ton of carbon and change it regularly.
How often would you change it out in a reactor, running one standard on a nem tank? I have no idea how long carbon lasts..

I usually run 2 - 3 bags of chemi pure blue in the sump , I am actually not running carbon right now due to dosing flucanzole hopefully it’ll be ok for the next couple weeks

I like to change out my chemipure blue (75g size) every month but i run three at a time so , oldest one gets thrown out , new one in. So I have them in for 3 months
Every month. I typically run double what is recommended if mixing nems. The big tank is an exception, it get a gallon of carbon a month, but it is also almost 600 gallons combined water volume and it has a crap ton of all types of nems.
I would say to just run double what is recommended and change every month. Do not worry if you have tangs, just rinse the carbon well and make sure it does not tumble and make dust.
You know how many tangs I have and how old they are. I run tons of carbon in all my tanks. Just got to make sure no dust.
Do you buy bulk carbon? It's $15 for 10oz here.
