For beginners, as I am about a year in. A 2x dose (with some vibrant) fixed my bryopsis/algae issue that was super irritating, no damage to corals or inverts. On a Pico FYI. May half to do a half dose maintenance at some point, I don't have much of a cuc however.
I’m inundated with hair, algae, and biopsies. Great video, I like how you’ve documented the time needed to cure. I will be ordering this product. Nice to see another Midas blenny in a tank. Bought one a couple of months ago and it’s my favorite fish.
This treatment WORKED! Finally something I feel good about putting my tank to kill Algae. What are thoughts fam?? Make sure to comment for the Grand Master Krakatoa giveaway!
@@maryabram13 Aw man, that is a good question, but you know what? The instructions didn’t say anything about turning the light off 🤷♂️😊 so I personally left them on and got these results!
Here for the crack! Nice video 6 days into the treatment and the progress is exactly what you have shown Thanks very much BTW 29 BioCube Up for 4 months.
Boom! You’re entered! Glad you had the same experience I did! I know it’s so hard to try new treatments in our tanks, so I like to document both the good and the bad to instill a little more confidence for you guys
I was a bit skeptical at first of adding reef flux, but holy did it work really well for my hair algae. Before adding it, I was running rowa phos, manually removing, and performing a bunch of water changes but it would go away. Two weeks after doing reef flux, there was 0 hair algae in my tank and it stayed like that for more than a year
@@mattreef3379 nice! So happy you got that taken care of. I love the flux because it’s a one solution treatment instead of having to try a “cocktail” treatments with lots of chemicals and ultimately band aid solutions.
Great video! I’m about to give this a shot in my tank for green hair algae. Never had gha until now in my 4 years of reefing and several tanks. HERE FOR THE KRAK! Lol
I’m a beginner, and am dealing with a big hair algae problem. I just went to my LFS and they were out of Flux. I’ll have to order it. I’d appreciate a krak at the Krakatoa! Here for the Krak!
I'm about to try this. Glad to see it does its job. Personally though I would keep treating the tank until every last bit is gone. My started from a small tuff on a frag and I figured eh cuc will get it. Fast forward many months of struggle and here I am. I'm gonna scorched earth this crap so it never comes back hopefully lol.
Hahaha love the determination! For what it’s worth, in my experience EVERY last bit of the algae was gone within a day or two of the water change. You know how it works, inevitability there’s still some of the chemicals we dose left in our tanks after the fact. Also, dude, did you enter the giveaway??

@@tylerhuxford3440 oh true good to know. I'll see how it goes. Hope this crap gets terminated. Oh cool thanks for the heads up. Will definitely enter. HERE FOR THE KRAK!
i see that in the beginning you had pretty minor signs of cyano.....after a few days the cyano got a lot bigger on the sandbed....did you notice a cyano bloom/outbreak during the treatment?
Not during, but there are we slightly more as a result of the treatment afterward. Nothing sinister or abnormal, and a quick chemiclean treatment took care of it
Never came back! I did recently add macro algae to my tank, and that sort of took over. The flux rx doesn’t work on Marco algae, but a tuxedo urchin took care of that. The GHA hasn’t come back though!
@@bosox4002 happens to the best of us! I would also tell you, I purchased a mimic tang shortly after this debacle, and that is the best algae eating dish I have ever seen. Better than any zebrasoma I’ve owned ☺️ just passing that along Incase that helps!
5! Never had more than 5 in this tank, and all pretty small with baby tangs being the biggest. Once the tangs reach a certain size, I put them in my larger tank in the office, which had closer to 20 fish
@Quad Lawnmowerman appreciate the heads up, but all is well in this tank 🙂 inverts, corals, anemones, and fish all appear to be thriving, and my subsequent cyano bloom wash short lived. It’s been over 6 months since this treatment, so I think we’re definitely in the clear
Flucon is not an algaecide. It is an antifungal medication used extensively to treat Candida Albicans and other fungal infections in humans and pets. It's mechanism of action in the aquarium is that it interferes with algal cell wall synthesis and thereby slowly kills it. Dr. Craft
Agreed, just a bandaid and not great messaging for beginners. GHA doesn't just show up without excess of nutrients due to new rock, poor nutrient export, nutrient input etc. That rock has po4 bound which will release as the po4 in the water decreases and will continue to level out between the two. Try this in my 120g SPS tank and say good bye to a lot of $$. Better aquarium maintenance and proper feeding is key. Also hopefully the dry rock has been cured.
Good vid brother. I'm came to the tube looking for an honest take on this product and you nailed it.
You are appreciated my friend 💪 nothing but honest takes here. Welcome to the fam!
I'm at day 11 of my Flux RX treatment for exceptionally bad GHA in a 90 reef with fair to good results. Great vid. You should have more likes!!
Thank you my friend! I should be uploading another video today, maybe you can help me out by joining the family and subscribing?
how did it turn out for you?
You need to get your parameters in check. My guess is your tank has high nutrients?

Oooh a vibrant treatment mixed in probably gives great results!
Nothing happens fast in a reef tank. You need a lot of patience for this hobby. Patience is something I DO NOT HAVE. Good job, man.
Thank you sir 💪 welcome to the fam

Niiiiceee! Welcome to the fam 💪
Waiting on it to be delivered today. Can't wait. You're not supposed to run a skimmer or have any media running, or carbon.
Let me know how it goes! I’m sure it’s going to do it’s thing 💪 I’ve run two treatments now for two separate tanks and it really helped me
What about filter socks?
This treatment WORKED! Finally something I feel good about putting my tank to kill Algae. What are thoughts fam?? Make sure to comment for the Grand Master Krakatoa giveaway!
Do I keep the light on
@@maryabram13 Aw man, that is a good question, but you know what? The instructions didn’t say anything about turning the light off 🤷♂️😊 so I personally left them on and got these results!
Good job.. on a side note cut your corals off the white plugs and use superglue gel to stick them on the rocks.. 👍
Great tip ☺️ right now most of the corals grew over the plugs which is fantastic 💪 but moving forward I’m taking your advice 😅

@@tylerhuxford3440 thank you. I’ve read a lot of people having success with this. I’m just worried about my acros.
@@BillysReefRx to be fair, I did not have any acros at the time of this treatment :/ but I did have montis, and those did just fine.

How longs the tank being running
@@A.R.C.77 been just over a year. I have PO4 at zero, so thankfully, the algae is slowly dying.
@@CreightonRing when I got in the hair algae stage I let it grow then pulled it out, been running 5 months no hair algae
@@A.R.C.77 Still struggling with algae. Ugh.

😂 love the video bro
Thanks for the support my man :) more to come
Did you have any clean up crew when you dosed? Were they affected?
I did! And they were not 💪
Did it come back over time or has it still keep clear of gha ?
Never came back! I did recently add macro algae to my tank, and that sort of took over. The flux rx doesn’t work on Marco algae, but a tuxedo urchin took care of that.
The GHA hasn’t come back though!
Great video!
Thank you!
I love Rustys Reef too☺️
You part of the Rusty Tribe?? Hopefully we run into each other there!
Hey, i am at day 14 of Flux RX treatment. My green hair algea turned dark brown instead of white - is it good or bad sign? Thanks
Brown is better than green! Have you tried siphoning it out yet?
@@tylerhuxford3440 Not yet, i am waiting till I reach day 21 (3 weeks), then i will probably do that :)
Here for the crack
Boom! You’re entered
How old is your tank set up. Good info, Thanks
At the time of this incident, about a year old!
@@tylerhuxford3440 Thanks for the prompt reply and happy reefing . My tank is 9 weeks and I have a bit of green algae😞Thanks again Tyler
@@bosox4002 happens to the best of us! I would also tell you, I purchased a mimic tang shortly after this debacle, and that is the best algae eating dish I have ever seen. Better than any zebrasoma I’ve owned ☺️ just passing that along Incase that helps!
I think tang didn’t eat but algae starting going bad
You are absolutely right 😕
Did you remove carbon, media, etc?
I followed the instructions on the flux! So I did take out the carbon media, and stopped the skimming for 72 hours ☺️
How many fish do you have in there ??
5! Never had more than 5 in this tank, and all pretty small with baby tangs being the biggest. Once the tangs reach a certain size, I put them in my larger tank in the office, which had closer to 20 fish
😁🤘
Yes. Sir. 💪
This is just an algaecide, you will def be paying the price later for adding this, especially with inverts.......
@Quad Lawnmowerman appreciate the heads up, but all is well in this tank 🙂 inverts, corals, anemones, and fish all appear to be thriving, and my subsequent cyano bloom wash short lived. It’s been over 6 months since this treatment, so I think we’re definitely in the clear

Shouldnt harm inverts. Fluconazole is an antifungal only. -I'm a pharmacist
Damn you're cute! I will definitely try this or something similar. Spend to much to let it get bad 🥲
