If you are sure it is dino, I wouldn't waste any time, I wasted 6 weeks.
What we had looked like cyano, was reddish brown but browner than red, it formed strings, a lot of tiny bubbles and bubbles on the strings, at first we did a reduced photoperiod, reduced feeding, more flow, more WC, and every morning it looked like it was gone, but by the end of day it was worse than the day before, it was choking out our corals.

No bubbles no strings. Just a brownish membrane on sand. I think the obly reason it harmed the two pieces was from agitating it as there are acans also there that were not affected. This oaticular Acan is sensitive to change

dinos and cyano are very similar....the only way to tell the difference is under micro scope.....9 times out of 10 what people believe is dinos is cyano, cyano can also form strings of bubbles.

blackout is def your best choice though regardless of what it is, but manual removal still needs to be done

We didn't get the strings at first and thought we had cyano, but the longer it progressed the the worse it got and the strings became prevalent, it is very hard to tell the to apart but after a while the strings would get @ 5" long.
We've had some nasty cyano but never had the strings like dino.
