Hello from Cleveland!

[rmorris_14]

Welcome! I initially read your message as "osteoporosis dinos"

Time for another cup of coffee.

I don't have any experience with dinos, but a lot of people here do. Seems like the most important part in getting rid of them, is figuring out what kind you have first. So you are on the right track .....GL

Welcome to R2R!!

My I ask what type of light you are running? Are the Dino's in both system or just one?

Thanks! Yes, we are running a reef breeder photon 32, version 1, purchased in September 2015. We were early adopters. Dinos are only showing up in the 40g tank. I checked with a microscope and they are indeed the dreaded Ostreopsis Dinos, thus I am doing the following: manual removal with a filter sock, night assault with a UV sterilizer, heavy feeding, and no water changes, plus running carbon (changing it often). I have already lost a birds nest coral, and our montipora is on the struggle bus. I think our belted sandfish is being impacted, so I pulled him and put him in our 29g tank - hoping to see improvement from him soon.

It was suggested once from WWC, if I turned down my white spectrum the Dinos would dissipate and disappear. They did when I did turn down my white spectrum. One other other question, were are you No3's and Po4's at?

Good suggestion. No3's are at 4 and Po4's are at .08. Also GFO reactor has been taken off line, and the skimmer has been turned down to a dry skim.
