Wassup reefers, I have been fighting against bryopsis algae, but I came across a question regarding the use of fluconazole together with phosphate remover. Could you tell me if there is any problem with this combination?
I began a Fluconazole treatment three weeks ago with it ending this coming Sunday. It’s done wonders for my GHA yet I’m somewhat confused as to why my phosphates are testing 0 this far into the treatment. I removed all chemical filtration media, no UV, kept skimmer off for 3 full days. Just...
There’s these weird little hair looking tentacles sticking out of my live rock in a few spots, seems to be alive, it can pick up little pieces of sand, it does that then lowers it back down every once in a while. Also, unrelated but any opinions on fluconazole. I’ve been considering using it to...
Any thoughts on what these spots are? I'm guessing Lobophora. This is my first tank and my first run in with algae. I noticed the brown/tan spots/discoloration first. But tonight I noticed the black spots for the first time. I'm thinking it's lobo that hitchhiked in with my emerald crab. I also...
Hi! We have been battling bryopsis and are treating our tank with FluxRX/fluconazole. We are on about day 12 of treatment, and have seen most of the bryopsis disappear, hooray! However, I realized I read all about how to introduce fluconazole, but not what to do at the end of treatment.

Both of their pages claim container has 2000mg of fluconazole. This is the only source of fluconazole I can buy without a prescription in my country.
Anyone know if they're interchangeable? Also I dose nopox, so will not having a skimmer cause issue? ( Will have air hose for aerations)...
Hi all,
I have used ‘Blue Vet Flux’ for the first time, to help battle green hair algae (turf, not long strands) in my 65g reef tank.
I did the first dose of 2.45cc (2 big scoops and 3 small scoops), but I think I made a mistake. I did not dilute it in water first, I just dumped the powder...
✂️ Day 16 of Fluconazole treatment to kill off Bryopsis and some sort of nuisance turf algae = SUCCESS!
I first started trying to beat Bryopsis with raising magnesium to up over 1600 which helped to slow down the growth rate but it just wasn’t enough.
After posting about it a lot of you...

Hi everyone,
This drama has been going on for quite some time now, so I will try and cut straight to the important bits.
I have a 130L tank, that's being on for over an year now, and I've been battling GHA since the beginning (which was carried over my previous tank, that's on me *facepalm*)...
Out of the blue my torch has retracted and has a soft gelatinous substance on one end. I'm afraid it might be brown jelly disease? I haven't introduced any new corals recently but am in the process of dosing fluconazole for getting rid of Bryopsis. Also I have been dosing Cal Alk and Mg...
I'm dealing with an outbreak of bryopsis in my 32g biocube. I have a fairly full tank of softies, LPS, some SPS, and a BTA. I also have a refugium going with copepods. What's a safer way to eliminate bryopsis...using elevated Magnesium over 1500 or dosing with Reef Flux (Fluconazole)? I...
So I've been in the hobby for 3 years, I have a 90 gallon mixed reef that has been very successful.
I recently started up a 13.5 fluval evo nano, I used all established live rock from my 90 gallon system sump. The tank inhabits 2 clowns, an urchin and a narcissus snail, plus a few zoa frags...
i have been able to eliminate bryopsis almost completely from my sps system with fluconazole . Unfortunately after a few months it comes back. I am currently running triton method so every time I dose the fluconazole I have to pull out my chaeto.
going forward I would like to just leave...
I've read some other threads and it sure looks like it. I'm having a heck of a time getting it out. I've used Vibrant and manual extraction, but it seems to come roaring back... assuming I don't get the roots out. I have a 250 gallon tank with large rock structures so getting it all out...
Good afternoon all,
I've looked around at all the threads related to this, but it looks like its been some time since the last discussion.
Has anyone had any coral loss treating your tank with Fluconazole? If you have used it with success, how long did you use it? Did you have any elevated...
Hello!
I've got bryopsis growing in my tank and today I have some flux rx (fluconazole?) arriving in the mail box.
I'm not really sure what to do with the chaeto in my refugium. Some people say leave it in the system, since if I pull it out before the treatment and then put it back...
Hi Reefers,
I have the tiniest amount of bryopsis starting to grow. 95% sure it is bryopsis anyways. It is much more stiff than hair algae.
I'm hesitant to treat the tank because I just don't like putting any chemicals or additives into it. I'm a pretty firm believer that in most instances...
Hi reefers. I posted this on the Bryopsis thread but I think because it’s such a massive thread that’s a couple of years old, no one saw it. So posting here in the hope that someone can answers me. So I started Floconazole treatment yesterday, and I was an idiot today and decided it was time to...
So about I week ago I had dosed my tank for Bryopsis using the Fluconazole method, however my question is—- it has for sure started dying but the majority of it is actually growing on the glass, can I just scrape it off the glass and let the filter do it’s thing? It shouldn’t land and spread...
It seems trust worthy from a lab, idk why the reef hd reef flux brand has me nervous due to a few reviews, or if anyone has used reef flux or can link me to a reputable Fluconazole online.
Thanks in advance
I have GHA beginning to overrun my tank. It is not as bad as other infestations I have seen, and I want to get ahead of it. I have tried manually removing it, but that doesn’t really work. You can’t get it all off and it just grows back. After reading about success using Fluconazole, I thought I...
so I been told and yes it does make sense because we don't really eradicate the source of the problem.
Some said that they will come back in approximate 6 - 8 months; so at first you think you killed those jerks and be happy for 6 months, only to see it slowly creeping up again.
What I...
Hi All,
I know this topic has been played out a million times, and I feel like I've read 20 different threads and watched 50 different youtube videos about how to get rid of Green Hair Algae (GHA), but since I value the expertise and input of folks on R2R, I thought I would ask for your advice...
