Dinoflagellate VS Fauna Marin Ultra Algea X

paddyob · #1 07-03-2013, 01:45 AM

My Fauna Marin Ultra Algea X has arrived. It's time for battle. If all goes as planned, the Dino's are going down.

It even says on the front label .... "Solution against dinoflagellate".

Hopefully what I have actually IS Dinoflagellate.

I'll post pics of "before and after"

how long did that take to grow that much?

did it just appear over a week or 2? or has it been accumulating over months?

It appeared then exploded. I have been manually removing it for about a month. It started about 6 weeks ago and I thought it was cycle from the reset up of the tank.

I was treating for Cyano and not dinoflagellate.

Dose number one made. 15ml (5ml/26g).

I have 100G - displacement = about 80 gallons. 26x3=78g.

Close enough I hope.

Rowaphos and ROX carbon reactors off.

Skimmer on as per instructions. Regular light schedule. As per instructions.

I did reduce the intensity of my LEDs a tad.

Here goes nothing... or hopefully the Dinos.

I am curious to see if the stuff works aswell.

Let me get this straight you were treating for cyano and then the Dino showed up after? The pics are kinda dark but its definately noticeable that you have brown slime or stuff... Where did you order the product from and how much was it?

Thought it was Cyano.

Ordered from Canada Corals. After shipping it was about $38.

Sorry. Pics are from my phone.

Thanks for the reply, I hope this stuff treats the Dino's, never seen a case that bad.
