dino's

[vicious]

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
