1. 3day blackout which helped in the past to knock them back.
2. Raising PH and maintaining it to 8.5.
3. Incorporate pods, beneficial bacteria
4. Dose Algae X. I've dosed it back in December and actually eliminated them to less than 10%.

I'm so through with this mess. Any more suggestions that can aid in this process?
i'm not an expert so take my advice with some fistful of salt but I don't think using algae X is a good idea. a lot of people had success by increasing competition for the dinos, so feed more and let other organisms thrive and they will outcompete the dino. use UV to cut down their reproduction rate. dose pods, phyto etc.
