"Clean" is not free of plankton or microorganisms.
I have a lot of planktonic life in my tank and no dino infestation. I don't use algae killing chemicals.
I use UV because it targets free swimming nighttime organisms like dinos while allowing benthic fauna to thrive in their place.
I use skimming because it's a natural scrubbing action and exports solid and liquid waste.
I use iron based GFO and the dinos don't come back.
I have no algae other than coralline in the DT and the macro in the sump.
