Help me please. I got a bubble algae infestation and it got too much for manual removal and emerald crabs couldn't keep up so I bought Vibrant after a bunch of research. I've been dosing the maintenance program for 3 weeks and the algae is still spreading. I'm hopeful it will start working before too long. That being said, it was recommended on here and on BRS to remove my macro algae while dosing Vibrant cause it will eat my macro algae and prolong the bubble algae so I did. Well tonight I noticed my fuge where my macro was is now covered in dinos. So what now? It's not in the display....yet, but I'm sure it's headed there before too long. My tank is just over 3 years old and parameters stay very stable alk between 9.8-10, Ca is 420-430, mg never rest anymore but it's always in check. NO3 stays around 5-10 (all LPS so always have run a little dirtier) and Po4 is .03-.06 depending on how close to water changes I am. I have a coralife UV sterilizer (I know not the best) on my manifold is only thing I can think of keeping them at bay in my fuge vs DT. I'm still running my fuge light on opposite my DT lights. Everything I read so far is 3 day blackout followed by dinox or vibrant. Should I turn my fuge light off? I'm afraid when I do they will enter the water column and my DT.

Figuring out the hobby one coral at a time.

With nutrients that high, you shouldn't have dino's. Cyano I can believe with vibrant as every time I've used it, I ended up with a cyano outbreak.
