I have been battling dinoflagellates, for about 3 weeks now, 1 week since verification, positive dino. It isn't terribly bad, I caught in time, before it gets worse. Long Brown strings, slimy, bubbles attached. I siphon out, as much as I can daily. It WAS a bit worse, but seems to have leveled off.
My question is...I started Vodka dosing and am on day 4. Doing 0.3ml daily (my actual Net water volume, including sump, minus live rock come out to roughly 94g) I am dosing on the low side, as it should be 0.1ml per 25g.
Since I am about ready to double the dosing, should I stop? I know Dino is photo and was thinking of doing lights out.....as recommended from reading up on it. I have cut feedings, to lower Nitrate. I am also running wet skim, as the vodka skim has not taken place yet.
Won't the recommended 48-72hrs harm my SPS? Will start running GFO tomorrow, as also advised. Have started running Carbon, in a media sock, in my skimmer chamber.
Back to the main question...continue the Vodka or not?
