This stuff is the real deal.....
Stopped by KellyJ house the other day and was amazed on the results. To be honest Kelly I thought you were fighting a lost cause but your patience paid off. Don't know if you have before and after Pic's but I'm sure other would like to see the results.

Wrassel how your tank looking

And does anyone know what happened to Vicki whom stared the thread....hope she didn't give up on her battle.

I have almost no algea left. There are a couple spots that are definitely weak and reduced by 80% but still a small amount of "stubble" left. I have ran mine for about 3 weeks without a water change and no ill effects. I battled this stuff for a year and this has been great. My only thing is waiting to see if any comes back. I have debated on a second treatment a few weeks after I do a water change just to try and make sure it is completely dead. Guess I will monitor closely for any new growth. But it definitely works.

Chris (thepipbull) is right.  I don't have any before/after pictures to post but this stuff worked amazingly.  I only dosed one time and almost dosed a second but waited it out.  Algae in the shadows was last to go.

Just curious, what effect if any does this stuff have on coraline? Just making sure that no ill effects includes coraline.

The only thing that died in my tank besides target algae was some calcified algea that was just a hitchhiker. I did not see any other affects to anything.

for those of you that did more than one treatment, how long did you wait after the first dose, before doing the next?

my bryopsis came back faster/heavier volume than before.  SO I am getting ready to start dosing over again, followed by a second dose later

I am on day 8 of the first treatment, what ill effect could I have leaving the skimmer off for all 14 days?  I haven't had it running since day 1

Leave skimmer on. No problem. After you're done, do a 20% wc

I left my skimmer on the entire time I was treating with fluconazole.  It still worked on my algae with the skimmer on.
