Godd luck with your battle. Dino's can be a pain. I have fought them multiple times over the years. It takes time but they can be defeated.

Hope this helps:

Today I took all of my rocks out and scrubbed the algae off as best as I can I scrubbed all but one b/c that rock is covered in gsp and I didn't want to kill it I'm going to start peroxide dosing tonight here are before and after pictures of my tank

Looks like you had a bit of a green hair algae problem too. Keep us posted

 

[The new fish on the block]

Yah that's what I thought the Dino was

 

[FL_Reefer]

No, there was Dino on top of the green hair algae

Day 3 : I technically started dosing Saturday night but didn't do a full dose. here's a pic of my tank today the water has cleared up a lot. I did rearrange my aquascape b/c I thought it looked terrible.

 

[FL_Reefer]

Well I like the new Aquascape, still there though. Keep doing what your doing

Will hermits die if they eat Dino

 

[FL_Reefer]

Probably so, I don't use hermits in my new tank that I had Dino in about 8 mouths ago but the snail did so probably yes.

This morning the tank was looking a lot better there was almost no Dino On the sand and the rocks. Then I come back in the afternoon and there is Dino all over the Sand and rocks. But I think the peroxide is working. Here's a pic of this was in the afternoon. :

Dino emerge more with the light.

 

[The new fish on the block]

So should i keep the lights on the lowest intensity

 

[FL_Reefer]

I don't think that will make a difference

As im looking at my tank bubbles are coming up to the surface and bringing algae with it.

Tank looks better this morning

Tank looks better this morning

It will always look better in moring because they are still in water column. After a few hours with lights on, they start to settle on sand and rock work.
