Name you dinos.
I'd think dinoflagellates, dead or alive, do not stand a chance against a trip through a good skimmer.
I would also presume it to be much more effective than UV.
That leads to an assumption that if UV is putting a dent in dinos it would be because of something else than it's dino killing abilities.
To be true to my own theories that would be the release of palytoxins into the water column. Dead dinos in the skimmer cup can't do this.
Theoretically speaking...

800 gph and 1600 gph would have zero effect on anything, especially something as big as dinos. At 9W? 900gph? That's less exposure than my double ended 400W MH bulb. Try again at 200gph with more UV.?
