Green hair algae removal with Fluconazole. Fluconazole is an antifungal medication used for a number of fungal infections. This includes candidiasis, blastomycosis, coccidiodomycosis, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, dermatophytosis, and pityriasis versicolor. It is also used to prevent candidiasis in those who are at high risk such as following organ transplantation, low birth weight babies, and those with low blood neutrophil counts.

Referred to as Green Hair or Net Algae, learn about unwanted nuisance Bryopsis, Derbesia, and Cladophora species identification, why outbreaks occur, what makes these macroalgae grow, and how to control or get rid of them in saltwater aquarium systems.

While there are several products on the market which will reduce nitrate and phosphate levels in your tank, experienced aquarists have found that taking care of the causes of high nitrates and phosphates makes more sense. Curing Nuisance Green Hair Algae is a good place to start.

Not all Green Algae is detrimental to your aquarium. Many aquarists cultivate some forms of the Caulerpa type macroalgae in their tanks or refugiums to reduce nitrates, phosphates, and other toxins and as a food source for Tangs.

It is the Nuisance Type Green Algae (microalgae) which can overgrow an aquarium that people find difficult to deal with. Being able to identify these algae early on is very helpful in eradicating them from your tank.
