Help!!!!

Brandon429’s advice was what I would’ve suggested.

This is what worked for me (like suggested above, pick one regiment and stick to it):

I didn’t do any water changes. I bought a UV sterilizer and ****** it up to the tank. I did a 5 day blackout. During the blackout I would blow off the sand, back wall and rocks to suspend the dinos in the water column, making it easier for them to go through the UV sterilizer. I also dosed 1mL of h2o2 during the blackout and for 3 weeks afterwards. After the blackout, I only ran blue lights for 2 weeks. I also brought my nitrates and phosphate levels up to detectable levels since I had a lack of nutrients in my tank which caused the dinos to continue to thrive. I haven’t seen dinos in my tank in almost 3 months. Now i just have gha that my snails and crabs eat up.

I think I have identified this strain as Ostreopsi. How do I get rid of them?

I just switched from Red Sea coral pro salt to NeoMarine this is my supply closet for now.

Nice Setup!
For now I wouldn't be dosing the aminos and would not use the Vibrant. Quite a number of people complain of getting dinos after using vibrant and bottoming out nutrients. Aminos tend to make them worse.

UV should work on Ostreopsis.

I researched and found the same. I found a green machine on amazon I’ll purchase Friday.

Thank you!!!

Thank you!!!

If I remember correctly, ostreopsis enters the water column at night and free float. A UV sterilizer will kill a lot of the free floaters. I think you might benefit from a 3 day blackout too. This will “trick” the ostreopsis into thinking its night time and they will continue free floating, helping you maximize the amount that go into the UV sterilizer.
