I already had some green film algae growing where dinos and cyano are. So hopefully i can get more of it. I also did an order for Reef Pods and Pods + from reef cleaners. I am considering a lights out once I start adding the pods, phyto etc. |

KZ is the company who put out Zeovit, but it's either marketed differently up here, or this isn't the same stuff: http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s..._ID=zv-csnow02 ivy

Are you trying to post a new topic of your own? When you're at the main subforum page, Eg "reef chemistry forum" where it lists all the questions, look above the list. There's a button called 'new thread'. Click that.
hope that helps a bit, ivy

I just browsed through dozens of dino threads on the internet.
If you have seen a similar or better dino thread than this one please post a link. |

My battle was about 1 year but the beginning of the end of it was a couple months ago when I let it go dirty and started rebuilding my micro fauna and clean up crew. |

Started H202 dosing last night. On day 2 of blackout, No dino is growing and what was there appears to be changing color. Will suck out all of the dino from the tank tomorrow, (day 3 of the blackout). Then on day 4 of blackout I plan to install new sump, UV and skimmer. Turn lights on during day 5 only for 2 hours and slowly increase each day. In theory this will give the UV time to kill the dino in the water column before they receive light. I have a 55 gallon tank and a UV rated for 200 gallons, water should get blasted pretty hard. Will keep updating.

My dinos were caused by using algaex to try to rid a bubble algae problem, the algaex destroyed my micro fauna, every tube worm, brittle star, bristle worm, peanut worm, amphipod, copepod, you name it, I vacuumed their carcasses out for weeks. I think it depends on the nutrient level of the tank, but IMO, I would take carbon, po4 remover and skimmer offline, no water changes and filter water back in if vacuuming, put 10uM socks on the drains and let the tank go until green micro algae is flourishing on the glass to where you can clean it everyday even encourage cyano. Then use chemiclean to get rid of the cyano(I did) and start adding critters and cleanup crew and phytoplankton, start skimming and a little bit of carbon. Now try to maintain po4 @ 0.03 and no3 @ 3ppm. I am now back to my regular routine, I have a new sand bed back in weekly water changes, vacuum the half the sand every week, po4 binder, carbon, skimming 24/7, and enjoying the hobby again. |

Thanks! I just bought a canister filter and will use that to suck up as much as I can. Also purchased Chemi Clean. I have a lot more green film algae growing over the dinos and it appears to be getting thicker. I can still see the bubble though. I wonder if anyone else has seen this?

So let's say we're starting a system from scratch, what are all the critters? Phytoplankton, pods, what else?
