Should i do a water change now? (Post dino)

[Jake_the_reefer]

I just got over osteropsis dino in my 10g nano and it has been a solid 2 weeks since I've done a water change. The dino died off about 3 or 4 days ago and I havent seen a lick of it yet. Should I continue to hold off on water changes or just do one? None of my corals are showing any signs of stress or anything from the lack of changes so I'm not horribly worried I just dont want to give a reason for dino to start growing back.

My .02. Obviously let your test results dictate how much you need to export but when i beat dinos, I started small and did barely enough of a water change to vacuum top of sand and get crud out. 5% for first couple of weeks to be safe and then went back to normal schedule.

Do water change but do not yet add any coral foods (reef roids, etc ) and continue with peroxide at .5 ml each night for the next 4 weeks. You will not see a re-emergence

Okay 20% sounds good. Normally my skimmer does a good job (little too good) but with the crazy amount of feeding I've been doing to fight the dino it cant keep up lol. I've lowered feeding now but continue to peroxide dose
