I just wanted to post and thank everyone. I’ve been in the hobby 3 months and I’ve learned so much. The first thing is not to trust my local fish store. I was battling Dino’s and the advice they gave me killed all my fish. If I had listened to everyone on this forum especially some of the main contributors that clearly have been reefing for awhile I would have prevented it. I seriously can not thank you guys enough. I have finally beat Dino’s and my tank has never looked this good. Part of the treatment was not cleaning my glass. Today marks the first time in 2.5 weeks that I cleaned my glass. I can’t even begin to say how good it feels to scrape only green off the glass... once again thank you all so much, much love

Nicely done on the battle, make sure to keep a watchful eye out for any more dinos coming back up, they can linger a bit. If you see any popping up just turkey baster the whole lot out! Can help with minimal management of dinos.

Good tip they were coming back very slowly and I stayed on top of blasting and removing filter socks every morning. I would turkey baste right as lights went out at night.
