Encourage these for as long as you can. I haven't seen any signs of dinoflagellates for well over a month now. I never got the chance to try ich attack, but I kept the skimmer off and fed generously to encourage as much algae as reasonably possible. Plenty of cyano and macroalgal growth ensued. I've even been able to do several 40% water changes (as an experiment) since to no detriment. I did run my skimmer for a couple of weeks afterward (no dino appeared) and all that did was kill off some of my tunicates, so I've left it off.
