Ahh makes sense if you have the cleaner shrimp. If there is one thing with dinos it is never a one size fits all. I sent Todd a sample last week and he says there were none in the samples which is crazy to think after 10 or 11 months they are finally gone in my system. I hope your second batch of them don't last that long. You ever tried adding copepodes to consume the dinos? Between that and the UV I added a few months back, one of them or both along with peroxide may have helped. Hard to say as I did both around the same time. Article I came across that made me try once I got my Dino population low to that last pesky 5-10%

not as much saving the cleaner. its that the constant stream of peroxide is always in the column working, and seems to be high enough doseage to keep things in check.
when i did peroxide bombs, sure. they would go away. but they would return soon after the dose was administered.
