Bryopsis dies, but Golden Algae lives (through Fluconazole)

[@DavidSmith-ki2we]

Love ur powder blue tang. I have 2 huge 13 yr old n 10 yr old blue tangs n Salfin tang, bicolor angels and two 8 yr old Clownfish

[@theloneaquarist]

I love that. I want my animals to be long-lived -- It's a very satisfying goal for me, as a marine aquarist, to have longevity and vitality in the animals.

[@DavidSmith-ki2we]

Purple tang n wrasse look great too

[@theloneaquarist]

Thank you. The Checkerboard (Hortulanus) wrasse is a beast. But definitely a fish with personality -- in my experience these guys are NOT peaceful towards other wrasses, but fits in well with larger more aggressive fish.

That golden algae is crysophytes. Not a very common algae. You could dorectly inject the algae with some hudrogen peroxide. Usually works veey well.

It looks like dinoflagellates. What worked best for me I this case was e 3 day black out plus a super dimensioned UV sterilizer direct on the display.

I would avoid Vibrant at all costs.

[@theloneaquarist]

Vibrant is simply API Algaefix. But I picked up a bottle of Dino-X since it specifically talks about "Golden Algae" as one of its uses. I'm not certain if I'll use it. But it would be a last resort. H2O2 dosing and targeting applications has been nearly ineffective. It'll die in the spots I spot treat but comes back in about a week. There has been documented success against golden algae with the use of algaecides if used properly.

@@theloneaquarist I would use the Dino X ... Fauna Marin is a very reputable German company..
