With many of us using fluconazole to rid our tanks of algae could you give us input on whether running gfo would remove it from our tank water?

After reading your paper on gfo that was what I was thinking but wanted to be sure. That would explain why some reefers are reporting success while still running gfo. May I pass this on to the thread on fluconazole?
I agree that GAC is likely to remove it.
UV will degrade it, but I am not sure how fast at tank pH and in hobby UV system:

It suposedly wI'll not remove. But to error on the side of caution I would not run it for a week. Just my thought process.
im pretty sure the bottle for reef flux which is fluconazole says you can continue gfo but to turn carbon off until the 3 week period is done. I believe it says that carbon will remove whats left in the directions.
I am currently running reef flux to rid of gha as well but I don't run gfo. However one weird things is that most of the gha has died off and I never saw a po4 spike.Thanks for the reply.
So I will be running GFO then to absorb the excess P04.

neither, im just assuming my bacteria had something to do with it. I was dosing waste away at the same time so im thinking that bacteria helped keep it down. I have the Hannah checkers and tested 0 the whole time
I followed the dosage instructions on the back which say to start with like 1/4 the dose. every few days I put just a little more than the first dose in every few days. I didn't really following the instructions as to how often just when I felt like it could help a little and keep the sludge down from the algae dieing off. seems to be working well.
I have ran it successfully with everything running, GFO, UV, etc - but turning OFF my skimmer. Did treatment for minor amount of GHA over a two week period.
