Exposure to water with a salinity that is ~10ppt different will kill any dinoflagellate according to him. Not much can work better than that.

Again, having several different species (with some acting similarly) and with some things working on lightening their attack to doing nothing at all poses a real problem. Next is the problem that every tank is different, with different lighting, different equipment, different filtration, different algal and bacterial inhabitants that would compete, etc etc. There is no 'one size fits all' treatment, and realistically I have doubts that any are actually treating the issue and not just causing the dinos to encyst to pop up at a later date. Luckily for most people, tanks are dismantled and sold fairly often in the hobby so they don't end up dealing with them again, only those that keep their tanks around for several years may see a resurgence.
