I`ve been fighting the dino for years now and recently I finally got it beat.
I`ll tell you what worked for me and what didn`t.
What didn't work !
3 Day black out; it worked but if you don`t solve the underlying problem it`ll just come back (I lost a few corals due to the stress too!)
Raising PH; I didn't see any difference.
GFO; It didn't make much of a difference for me but I still recommend its use in general.
No water changes; Didn`t work in my experience
What worked!
Carbon; This made a big difference in my experience! Lots and Lots at least 1 Cup per 50G. The more the better.
Changing RO Membrane; I believe this was the main problem. If your not getting 0 TDS then your going to have Algae problems.
Good Husbandry in general.
What may also help for you is using a diatom filter and running some silicate absorbing media through a reactor.
If you feed frozen foods you should rinse them before adding to tank.
Good luck
