It seems that people are tending to strip mine their systems trying to get rid of them, when only I've heard it just helps them right along. Vodka dosing especially, it's like adding fuel to the fire.

Anyway - keep us posted. Good luck.
Yeah i have heard similar on these boards and others. The problem is nobody seems to be able to say, "I did this, and the dinos went away". It is always a whole combination of things.

I am not sure what else to do so i guess it is time for the more iffy treatments. I am just so sick of them and all my snails are dieing and now the stuff is starting to grow all over my live rock and infringing on my corals....
