I’m really surprised if you used flucanozol properly that it didn’t completely decimate that algae. You sure you didn’t run it with a skimmer or carbon in the system and used the correct dosage for the time period required?
I have never seen it not work on hair, turf or bryopsis.
I try to feed once a day to every other day at night when i get off work.How often do you feed your fish and how much??? I feed every other day and once a week frozen food.
Weird it blocks a protein algae need to survive and usually can see noticeable changes within a day or two.i put in all 10 pills of the reef flux last monday ( jan 18th) and have not seen any different
i took the cup off the skimmer and removed carbon,
Only thing I forgot to do was pull out the polyfilter which i did the next night (january 19) the polyfilter was already several weeks old so I highly doubt it removed the medication that quick or if even since it was already a couple weeks old . I actually have more reef flux on the way
I beat mine in 3 weeks with brightwell razor dosing followed by big water changes sucking out everything that was loose and dying from the brightwell razor all my rock is ultra clean nowI try to feed once a day to every other day at night when i get off work.
when i feed frozen i only do about a nickel to quarter size
( i have 8 fish; 2 clowns; 2 pajama cardinals, yellow eye kole , lawnmower blenny, royal gamma, and a goby/shrimp pair)
So many nooks and crannies in rocks. I’ve used a knife. Does work. Takes a long time though.score algae off with a knife back to clean, rinsed in saltwater, takes hours, price of following the common practice leading up
First check and verify phosphate and nitrate readings and see if they’re elevated.
Pull as much as you can by hand and reduce white light intensity.
add fluconasal (flux) and treat
After day 5, siphon tank and add the following snails:
4 turbo
4 astrea
3 trochus
4 nassarius
4 cerith
8 blue leg hermit crabs (they’re tiny)
ARE YOU USING RODI WATER OR TAP WATER FROM FAUCET?
imIs tank at or near a window ?
I've tried all of the recommended methods as well without much success. Everybody's trying to give some helpful advice but I think it just doesn't work for everyone's particular tank being slightly different. Mine is bare bottom with 80x turnover flow rate. There isn't much of anything settling as a need for rip cleaning. Its just so individualized. I might try the peroxide dips and scrubs one rock at a time just as a method to visually improve the tank periodically.Not to be a butthole,
But did you read my entire post?
I have used fluconazole
I have lowered white lights
I also stated that i am using RODI water Have posted the ICP results from the RODI as well
Also will add i have changed ALL my RODI filters since battling this problem and i stil have GHA .
i am running 3 stages of DI
canton, anion and mixed.
