So fun update to this, ended up getting in a car accident which kept me away from my system for a month. Good friend of mine fed the fish and topped up the rodi while I was gone. Upon returning, my phosphates completely bottomed out again and have what is probably the worst outbreak of Dino’s I have ever seen. I am actually shocked at how all of it either binded or was consumed within a month.

Wow, bad luck seems to be stalking you. Are the dinos under control now?

Unfortunately no, just got back the other day so currently dealing with them. I’ve fought them before by just increasing my nitrates/phosphates and weekly water changes to siphon all the gunk up. Hoping that might do the trick this time.

Seems like a decent plan.
