So i finally got my order of Fluconazole from Thomas Labs, this will be my post tracking day to day progress of the treatment in my 37 gallon tank/10 gallon sump system.

so on a positive note, whether this works or not...got myself a $50 tootsie pop...Score 1 for me right?:dance: (not sure why this came in package, maybe there's a fish doctor somewhere tapping his foot waiting for this post).
they came in 100mg dissolvable tablets.. i was hoping for capsules with dry powder but i see the functionality of this way since its made for fish and not humans.

i calculated my system volume to be ~40 gallons give or take a sip or two. most people that have had success were dosing 20mg/1gal of Fluconazole to their tanks and getting results. so i dosed 800 mg (8 pills) into a cup of Rodi water and slow dripped it into DT/sump. Now only time will tell. Heres a couple of pictures that i will keep using as reference points for the days coming... Thanks for reading :read:

so this is the worst rock in tank, has bryopsis all over plus grape caulerpa that found its way into system and GHA. this will be the best reference for the bryopsis die off i feel.

this rock has mostly GHA and Turf algae on it.. so this will be a good rock to see if Fluconazole works on turf, ive already heard of it killing GHA but not turf yet. same goes for the caulerpa, although if i see the GC dying i might manually remove as much as i can and just leave the runners to die off, to keep nutrient levels lower.

not sure whats on this one but maybe someone could ID? its a long flat macro algae but is too small to really see any true structure yet.
Thanks,
Scott
