I am not so much concerned about my current dino situation. What I really want to know is what the drawbacks of using Dino X are in case I want to use it in the future, because I know that time will come.
Why shouldn't I use Dino X?

The main one seems to be that Dino X doesn't work on every type of dino, so treating the type you have in the future may not yield the desired results. The only other thing seems to be to calculate the dose precisely and avoid overdosing. I'm sure others can weigh-in with more thoughts.

I could not find it with a search, but at some point I think I saw that it would possibly kill some animals in the tank. Is anyone aware of this type of problem?

Treat the root cause and dinos have a higher chance of not returning (though obviously finding the root cause is difficult.) Use a chemical solution and you may be tied to it forever to solve your issues.
Full disclosure I've been fighting dinos for over half a year and am basically losing the battle to some extent.

I strongly suggest you check this amazing dinoflagellates management review:

As the title suggests, this is intended as a short guide on what to do when you suspect dinoflagellates are trying to overtake your system. It is an attempt to boil down the protocols discussed across 11,000 posts in this "Are you Tired" thread...
