Ostreopsis Algae Dinos

[Golddill]

Anybody had success in ridding your tank of this terrible stuff?? My Nitrates and Phosphates are at zero .... I'm currently overfeeding and dosing with Blackwell products to try to raise them. 6 month old tank and all other parameters are perfect.

Parameters definitely not perfect if bottoming out nitrates and phosphates, lol.

Dose specifically nitrates and phosphates daily to keep these in the tank. Eventually with regular dosing of these, a new tank will equilibrate and you will be able to maintain them with less dosing. Also if you're sure it's ostreopsis dinos you have, then a UV sterilizer works great to clear them out.

Over feeding may be a mistake, dose N + P instead

We are dosingN +P. Skimmer is off and we have plants plus pods in refugium. Is that hurting our problem?

Thanks for the help. I'll keep dosing and keep my fingers crossed.
