and dosage please

Blue vet - Flux RX

Thanks,

I used reef flux and it rid my tank of the few patches of turf algae I had...so that gets my vote.

Exactly how big is the problem? (picture) I've never really been a fan of adding chemicals to the tank if manual removal or other means has been thrown out the window. GL.

I'm also interested in the answer to this question. If the OP doesn't mind, I would also like to include Vibrant in the discussion as I have read that it works on turf algae.

I don't mind adding Vibrant to the discussion.
Magyvr would you use the recommended dosage on the label or different?
Also would you turn off the skimmer?

Thanks

I used the entire "treats 100G" bottle in my 80G tank/40B sump in one shot.
I think I turned of the skimmer for 2 weeks (I do not skim heavily at all anyways.. Curve 5 that I now set to fill the cup in about 4-6 weeks)..
I did not do the big water change as suggested after the 2 weeks (because I basically don't do water changes at all)
