To follow up with my squeaky clean rocks I vacuumed the sandbed thoroughly four days in a row, just to see if detritus plays any part in how dinos resettle on the sand.
In 24 hours they are back at the same density and coverage as the the day before. The conclusion is that detritus has no effect. --- This is contradictory to the nutrients theory from oceanographers. |

Figured I'd jump on this post. Have a bad case of it,
things I've tried: Sucking out all of the sand and going BB ---- No effect dinos cover glass bottom same as if it were sand. Currently trying blackout treatment ---- On day 2 dinos still there but not growing, will suck all of them out after 4 day blackout and see what happens. Going to install a sump on Saturday with a new eshopps skimmer and attach a coralife UV sterilizer to the return line and see if it does any damage. Will keep updated.

We have a rich and diverse plankton theme going now. Since some have reported dino blooms after decimating the plankton with algae killers it sounds logical. I'm getting a bucket of filthy sandbed next week and 80 pounds of live rock when ever that will be available over here. |

Hmm. I will probably go to that next, I'm also thinking about the H202 treatment but I have a cleaner shrimp that will probably have to be moved during it from what I've been reading. Anyone here have any luck with H202? There's a lot of people that swear its the miracle cure...

So you suggest I should try adding some pods to my sump when I get it installed?

I ordered the P&P package from algae barn, which should be here Thursday. I have a really small bio load in my 90 gallon. I have a Major Damsel and two Platinum Clowns. I have a Skimz monzter sm302 which I got to go on a larger tank when I upgrade and I think its just way to big for this tank and my bioload. It pulls a ton of gunk but it seems to impair my tanks balance. I never had dinos until I added it. |

Thursday I am adding the phyto and pods from algaebarn and I am going to pick up pods / phyto near by. Cleanup crew is pretty much a trochus snail and a peppermint shrimp. Not going to change anything there. |

How bad was the tank and how long did it take to clear up. I'd say 75% of my tank is covered. EDIT: your link to IPSF looks copied paste from your PODS+ And I have an order of pods, worms, stars coming from IPSF http://www.reefcleaners.org/aquarium-store/pods I found http://ipsf.com/ Last edited by Adrnalnrsh; 07/22/2015 at 03:03 PM. |

I found heavy feeding. Auto top off with kalkwasser and less water changes cleared my dinos.

Feeding makes mine worse, but then I seem to have a really toxic strain. Whenever I siphon off more than 1/4 of the tank, I see waves of dead pods, bristleworms, etc. This is running fresh carbon, filterfloss, filter socks, skimming very wet. Microfauna no doubt the way to go, just find me a company who'll ship to Canada. Did discover this morning that my hermit crab is in fact alive, he just moulted and switched shells. Don't know what the poor thing is eating in there, but go crabby! ivy
