Hi friends.
Ive started my reef tank since last year and the things were going on very well.
But suddenly the worst came to scene(i had surmounted cyano diatom).U know what that was?
Yes thats dino.2 or 3 of my precious reefs and 4 of my fishes and alot of snails and... are gone.
Now after this disaster im determined to defeat this ......problem.
I have searched a lot(darkness,siphon ,h2o2...),but they did not worked.
And now i wanna start a multi attack battle(lol).
Ive took all of the creatures (except some mushrooms and an anemone sticking to the live rocks)out.
Im going to take out all the live rocks out and clean them with fresh water(and spray h2o2 on them).
Then while the live rocks are out siphon the sand bed and clean all of the algae from the tank.
I wanna clean the ceramics and bio balls with fresh water too.
Then put the rocks back and start the water circulation while dosing h2o2.And no lights during a hole week.And i wanna put o3 in it too.
After a week siphon the last and let see any signs of dino.
Letting the tank fot 3 days on and watch the results.
Then if it was suppressed test the parameteres and add the creatures little by little.
The thing remains is that i dont know to do clean the refiugem too or not(does darkness for 1 week heart the macro algaes in ref?).
Any ideas will be appreciated.
I will post photoes and the results.
WISH ME LUCK
