While fighting dinos, no WC allowed. What elements would be depleted?

[David Cher]

Should I add gfo to help clear the silicate that is causing dino ???

Silicates don't spur Dino's , that's diatoms.

I have stopped wc , siphoning every day , dose corAl snow with biomate , anything else I can do to fix the dino???

Have you tried asking them very nicely to leave?

Look at Dino x

And look at your nutrients. Many folks seem to suffer Dino's in nutrint depleted tanks.

I used Metroplex on two separate occasions to eliminate ich from my SPS tank. Ich disappeared but lost about 25% of the SPS. Could have contributed toward your SPS damage.

I used this and it came back again

What are the nutrient levels?
How did you diagnose it as Dino's ?

my no3 is 5 ( salifert ) and po4 is 0.06 (hanna phosphorous )

What's your morning ph and nighttime ph?

Are you running activated carbon in a reactor by chance?

 

[David Cher]

night time ph is around 8 and day time is around 8.2.

yes i am running activated carbon in a filter bag

That's a pretty incredible lack of swing.

How did yuo the Dino's ?

It's a bit fast but, if you've gone the Dino x and blackout route and want to avoid the ph treatments, looker at nutrient limiting, then you could look at peroxide dosing. If it's cyano and not Dino's it'll have the same effect.

Yes. Don't stop long enough to see it.

Oh that's better. In the bid it looked like it was a bit stringer. But that there does not 100% look like Dino to me.
Cyano too does get stringy btw.

 

[David Cher]

i tried with cyano clean and also a balance but does not work . i thought when having cyano , the no3 and po4 will be 0

Not all cyanos respond to the chemiclean.
If it's a new tank yo will get phases even with very good numbers like yours.
Is it new?
