I have tried everything but AlgaeFix but API... lights out 3 days, cut back on feeding, i have a phosban reactor and the dictyota will not go away. so ive heard good things about this stuff... but i have a question for who ever has used it.... am i supposed to leave my skimmer on while im dosing this stuff or shut it off?

I'll point you to options. The chemistry forum has a huge thread on af.

Its more recommended to use tangs vs chemicals to graze it

If you want a non grazer fix, you should consider not using af and reading our giant peroxide thread with hundreds of cures, we can work wonders with it. Before making any assumptions about it, go to nanos forum here, lower page 1/upper page 2, pico reef pest algae challenge thread, the big one.

Read it all! We have dictyota cures, its easy to kill

The right tang could fix everything tho

Leave the skimmer on, that's what I did.
