I fought Dino’s for over two years. Been in the hobby for over 7 years. It was such a long hard battle. I tried every single solution possible. The only thing that worked was dosing nitrate and phosphate along with algae barn Galaxy pods with ALOT of phyto. And I finally beat it !!!!!

Some dinos feed off phytoplankton...dont dose it when you trying to get rid of it.

i got the biggest UV i could fit on my filtration and that took care of those dynos in like 3 days, it was cost prohibitive tho :( i had dynos on the glass, sand, rocks, filtration tubing, all thanks to dry rock and phosphate bloom, but there was even hair algae, diatoms, and cyano, it was the ugliest of the ugly. thanks so much for breaking down the theory behind this, so very helpful! btw, i heard getting a small chunk of coraline algae helps get the tank off to a good start while the parameters are stabilizing

Im at a 2 year fight against dinos now. They really are horrible. All my corals are pretty much dead. Had aquarium up for 5 years. Pretty sure i got it from dosing vibrant.

Hi. Well , I haven't tried, but heard that diatoms are a source of food for dinos, so why could adding silicates be considered. ?

[@sandroaces]

I’ll just get rid of coral keep fish only and I’ll have my way with this scurge

Anyone have any experience using Dino-X (aka the nuclear option)?
