Still dosing the phyto 5 ml/gal and dosed the coral snow today (I read it will bind to the free floating dinos to make filtering them out easier)
This UV was really cheap, hope it lasts a few weeks...

Personally I'd drop the UV, you're adding biodiversity and then undoing it by killing it off again with the UV.(I also added FM UltraBio daily).
I think you need to pick one or the other approach or have clearly defined phases: knock the dinos right back and then pile the biodiversity in to fill the gap before the Dinos can recover.
