this post is a little old but could I get some clarification on your above statement please? I got Dino's about a month ago and have been fighting them ever since. understanding that water changes only fuel Dinos I have not done a water change in 2 months. (normally do monthly) when Dino's broke out in my tank my levels were at Phosphate .07 and Nitrates were at 5. They are now .18 and 12. In the beginning I lowered my lighting period and took all whites out while I tried dosing microbacter 7. (kept getting worse) then I started dosing Dino X with manual removal into my a sock in my sump every day. (not getting worse, but does not seem to be doing much). Now I decided to raise my temperature in my tank from 79 to 82. It has been at 82 now for almost 48 hours (cant tell if its having an effect yet). But a lot of my corals are looking unhappy, my acros have browned out, and I can only attribute this to the jump in phosphate (my tank has never been this hight before). Since I am trying temperature now, I thought it would be safe to bring down my phosphate to .07-.01 which Is where I like to keep it. With so much info out there on Dino's I honestly don't know what to do to make sure my nutrients don't keep rising.
