Dinos are a cyst,not a bacterium.

But, they apparently incorporate bacteria into their colonial form, and have a symbiotic relationship with it. That bacteria is thought to be gram negative. That's in the article on dinos that I posted earlier. In killing their bacteria, it may be possible to kill, or damage, the dinos.

What are your thoughts on running UV? I've never used one.

Makes sense

and that does explain why the antibiotic makes it appear to disappear for a while.

It's to bad we can't keep Crassostrea Virginica (eastern oyster)in a reef tank....or can we?

i dont think chemiclean is going to help , i mean you did it once right and look what your left with.

have you looked into dosing h2o2 to your tanks alongside with blackouts, seems to be working for some folks on RC.

personally i would start treating for dinos and forget the chemiclean.

im almost positive your dealing with dinos.

possibly look into adding/dripping kalk or limewater and getting your ph rasied and stable.

good luck!!
