Well I'm fighting a Dino outbreak right now.
I ordered one of those Algae Scrubbers from AquaticGuyz on Ebay and it's been great. The only problem it's been doing TOO well. My Nitrates and Phosphates are undetectable with my Red Sea and Salifert test kits when I tested after I noticed Dino's started popping up.
That was a week ago and now my whole tank is covered with that gross hairy brown sludge.
I've upped my feeding schedule and started dosing MicroBacter7 every day and reduced my light schedule. I'm contemplating a blackout but my Zoas and Toadstool already seem distressed by being overrun by the sludge and I'm afraid a blackout would add fuel to the fire.
