I know this is almost 4 years later, but when I saw him post photo of a dino, and then say he's going to chemiclean, I was cringing, worrying about dino outbreak. I'm just finishing beating my dinos lol. I will likely never do any extreme measures again like chemiclean. I have some cyano growing only in refugium, and looking at options though. It's very mild, and not sure why it's only in refugium. Probably if anything grows in my 300g DT on rocks or wherever it just gets eaten by snails, fish, urchins, stars, etc

Curious how the dino outbreak ended?

Within a day or two. It's getting more difficult to blow off the rocks though. Still slimy, though most anything on a rock is lol! When it does come off, it tends to come off like cyano would from sand. Just used a toothbrush to get as much as I could. Lights out doesn't seem to be having any effect. So not sure what I'm dealing with right now.

Since cyano is a bacteria have you dosed a beneficial bacteria like brightwells microbactor 7 to out compete it ? . It wouldn’t hurt to run a UV light as well .
