Dino x

[merereef]

Hi i have gave my aquarium 1 dose on dino x and by second day noticed dino has gone more stringy and spread is this normal after first dose? I also purchased product and noticed it doesnt have a smell and the cap wasnt sealed was wondering if this is normal too

So ive been battling dinos for a while now and i had a small amount of dinos but since dosing dino x following the instructions carefully in regards to medias and lights etc i have given the tank a second dose and seems to be getting worse should i carry on ?

I have used dino X. had success with it. . . .BUT :
You must apply it at night, have skimmer running and provide Blackout or super low light for 4 days minimum.
During the day add 1ml per 10 gallons of Hydrogen Peroxide during the day. I am dino free after 9 days of battle.

Ahh right so i should lower the overall light intensity? Ive lowered it by 10% but afraid to go lower for sps and anemone etc

dino x didn't work for me for some reason. my nitrate and phosphate was undetectable so to raise them all I done was fed heavy for 5 weeks frozen and flake turned skimmer off and they started raising and dino started to clear. mine completely cleared in 7 weeks

I read somehwere that turning skimmer helps
Massively.. so all you did was feed heavy to get nutrients back up.. did you do anything else? Like lower light intensity use carbon etc?

Go Zero white and 15% blue. A little light is better than none at all. Its worth it during the battle.

ok perfect i will do that now

 

[merereef]

So i think i should have done this before starting dino x but since dino x seems to be making it worse i think i need to put it under a microscope to find out what it really is.. will post pics later. just a childs microscope hopefully this will do

Can anyone ID this algea?

Definitely dinos but not clear enough for me to tell what species. If you can get the phone closer so that the microscope field takes up the whole picture the focus might be better. Also, a video is better than a still picture if possible.

They move around very slowly

tried UV sterilizer yet? Might work for that species
