Dino’s and Dead fish?

[BigRed78]

Hello everyone unfortunately I have Dino’s and I just lost a royal grama basslete. I was wondering if this death could have been due to toxic dinos. The only thing is all my corals look fine and all my other fish are behaving normally. What are the odds this death is due to dinos? I am working on bringing my nutrients up. I have shut down my refugium light and protine skimmer indefinitely. If this doesn’t work I’m gonna start dosing nutrients.

Dino toxins are more likely to kill snails, urchins, starfish and other sensitive inverts. But fish aren't completely out of the question. I'd run carbon ASAP.

Okay thank you carbon won’t reduce my nutrients right?

In all of my battle with dinos, fish couldn’t be happier and corals really suffered. Just my experience.

Carbon will remove toxins, medications, odors and generally "cleans up the water". But it won't reduce nutrients per se, and fuel your dinos problem. Performing water changes and running GFO (removes phosphates) will usually do more harm than good during a dinos outbreak.

I never lost any fish, only a few inverts and corals that got covered. Read twilliards thread on dinos-helped my outbreak
