For my dinos, adding the waste away and micro-bacter just fed them for mine. Switched to adding 2 tiger conch, vacuuming the contaminated sand away, and only 6 hours of blue light. Hope this helps!

Did you identify the reasons you got dinos in the first place so you prevent a repeat occurrence?

Someday I'll have the maintenance practices of a grown up. Until, then, the brown is part of the "plan". I'm definitely not winning.

While I can appreciate your optimism, I wouldn’t celebrate until you go about 6 months without seeing more than 2 Dinos on a microscope slide. What you described as your process won’t get rid of them, unfortunately.

I'm lying.... I got off this thread and ordered My, Phosphate and Nitro doses. Sure enough my nitrate and phos are zero to almost zero. Thanks for the insight everyone!!!

Now what was it I was originally researching before I jumped into this thread??? Lol
