Cal_stir. I had the same experience using API Marine Akgaefix. I dosed that stuff for not quite two weeks. I was happy and amazed to see how it cleared the hair algae etc. I had bare live rock again! A day or two more and the dinos hit hard. My best guess is the Algaefix took out macro and micro algae, the net effect being no competition for nitrates and phosphates. My first clue of trouble was my nitrates. For a year and a half my nitrates never read higher than 5ppm. I checked the day the dinos hit and the reading was 20ppm and climbing. An additional check showed zero ammonia which told me the conversion process is ok. Your experience is the third one I heard in the past week.
