Think I am on day 16 and dinos have not increased since day 10. I had a few spots in the corners that I cleaned and siphoned on day 12 that are still clean till today. Almost everything is back to normal excluding the sea fans and my rbta. Everything else is on it way to looking better and better. It's so nice have pure white sand and live snails.
I also had either cyno or spirulina as I used chemi clean 4 days ago which took care of a few spots that weren't dinos.

How long after dosing is this? Do you have a before picture? (post-metro, pre-new method).

You know I might but I am not sure if I took before pictures.
It was about 6 hours after dosing that I saw they were no longer forming the thin strands.

So what did you dose? Don't tell us the amount of how frequently. I just need to know what it was.

Oh I wish I could right now!
I know a lot of people are waiting but I need to be positive that this one is it.
I couldn't be happier!

What are your metrics for success? If all goes well, how soon before sharing?

Right now I am battling the skimmer :rolleyes:
There is a LOT of free organics in the water from the death of the dinoflagellates
I haven't done a water change as I want to see how this will break down in the water.
I haven't been able to do scope work today as my head wants to explode :mad:
