Tank pests..
I think I may have numbers soon.
So for this morning there is not a single loss of fish, inverts or coral.
I can't see too much as the lights are just ramping up.
Actually the coral wash is in such a small amount compared to the melafix it doesn't contribute a lot to skimmer production.
Today is 24 hours for my new ratio so I am working on pulling it out and and wait for adverse effects or dinoflagellate production.

I have one acro that is in there from my main tank. I thought he was a goner
Well in my frag tank I was wrong!
He is alive couldn't tell you what it is but it has bright green polyps with more of a purple base.
Is it sensative? I have no idea but it is alive!

I am patiently waiting. I hope @twilliard nails this one. Ive exhausted many types of cures to no luck.
Mine dont seem to be toxic. No dead snails. My zoas and xenia absolutely hate it and wont fully open however

I am getting closer guys!
The collected dinoflagellates on the filter are dead but I am finding trace amounts alive in the tank still.
I am working diligently on this. I know you all want to try but let me find the absolute ratio as what I am putting together is no joke.
Used wrong and this will destroy every form of life you have

Is it gasoline? Ive considered this ingredient at about 1 gallon of gasoline per 1 ml of water...think it will kill the dino? =)Yes indeed..
What I haven't mentioned is the third ingredient

You said "most" will have the 3rd ingredient. I want to start the treatment asap so I want to make sure I have everything available. Can you please tell us? I think it would be very, very foolish for anyone to try to dose their tank without know what amounts are need per ingredient because, if improperly dosed, death and destruction to everything! Each of us is a steward to our tank(s) so you have no personal responsibility if people don't wait for dosages, methodology, etc.
