Any cure for Dinos?

Other than frequent water changes and trying to siphon them out?

I started running a dual reactor with HC GFO and Carbon from Bulk Reef Supply.

I had a problem with them and physically removed as much as possible weekly. I was running an algea scrubber and they accumulated on the screen. So the tank started clearing of them but the screen was full of that crap. I would say just give them a better place to live than your DT and manually remove them from there till they are gone.

Dinos are probably THE worst problem we face in this hobby.

Great, i thought that was the HA i had for the past 4 months. :grumble:

Yeah I was glad to see the dinos leave and the HA return. It is just less disgusting to remove.

When I was fighting dinos,I took every coral that wasnt already dead out of my tank and siphoned out all the dinos I could see.Then I completely unplugged my lights and covered the glass with black trash bags and left it like that for a full 14 days.
During that 14 days.I keep the PH at 8.5-8.6 by dripping kalk 24/7 and using straight limewater for top-offs.
After the 14 days,I did a 75% water change and crossed my fingers.
That was my last resort.If it hadnt of worked,I was going to catch out the fish and pour in a gallon of bleach.
