Product Specifications

Fluconazole Aquarium Treatment

Fluconazole is an antifungal ingredient used in specialized ornamental-aquarium products. ReefHD Reef Flux delivers the ingredient in premeasured 200mg capsules, allowing aquarium keepers to calculate the required amount according to water volume.

Before treatment, calculate the aquarium’s actual water volume rather than relying only on the tank’s advertised capacity. Rock, sand, equipment and sump contents may reduce or increase the amount of water in the complete system.

Bryopsis Control in Reef Aquariums

Reef Flux is widely associated with Bryopsis management in saltwater reef aquariums. Bryopsis can be difficult to control through manual removal alone because small fragments may remain attached to rockwork and other aquarium surfaces.

Reef Flux should not be promoted as a universal algae remover. It may not be effective against ordinary hair algae, turf algae, cyanobacteria or unrelated aquarium growth. Correct identification of the aquarium problem is important before beginning treatment.

General Directions

1. Determine the aquarium system’s actual water volume.
2. Use one 200mg capsule for every 10 gallons of aquarium water, equivalent to approximately 20mg per gallon.
3. Open the required capsule or capsules and add the contents to a high-flow area of the sump or aquarium.
4. Turn off the protein skimmer during the first three days of treatment.
5. Manage activated carbon, Purigen and other chemical filtration according to the instructions printed on the current product packaging.
6. A clean filter sock may be used to help collect loosened organic material during treatment.
7. Monitor fish, corals, invertebrates and water parameters carefully throughout the treatment period.
8. After approximately 14 days, perform a minimum 30% water change unless the current package label provides different instructions.
9. Do not exceed the labeled dosage.

Important: Always follow the instructions printed on the product received. Packaging and filtration instructions may be updated by the manufacturer.

Filtration and Aquarium Preparation

Chemical filtration may remove medication from the aquarium water and reduce treatment effectiveness. Review the current product label before deciding when to remove or reinstall activated carbon, Purigen or other chemical media.

Mechanical filtration, including filter socks, may help capture loosened organic material. Inspect and replace dirty filter socks regularly to prevent accumulated material from affecting water quality.

Important Refugium and Macroalgae Warning

Use particular caution in systems containing macroalgae refugiums. Fluconazole may negatively affect Bryopsis, Caulerpa and other macroalgae. Dying algae can release accumulated nutrients into the water and may contribute to increases in nitrate, phosphate or dissolved organic material.

Closely monitor systems containing refugiums, delicate macroalgae or substantial algae growth. Consider whether vulnerable macroalgae should be separated before treatment, and follow the current manufacturer instructions.

Water-Quality Monitoring

During treatment, regularly observe:

• Ammonia and nitrite
• Nitrate and phosphate
• pH and alkalinity
• Temperature and salinity
• Dissolved oxygen and surface movement
• Fish respiration and behavior
• Coral and invertebrate response
• The amount of decomposing algae or organic material

Remove excessive dying material when practical and maintain sufficient circulation and oxygen exchange. A medication should not replace proper aquarium maintenance, nutrient management or identification of the underlying cause of recurring algae growth.
