My frag tank has been battered from dino when my sister in law went into cardiac arrest.
My family and I moved into her house to take care of her newborn and 2 kids while my brother in law left the state to be by her side.
after 30 days of family emergency, she came home and is doing better day by day!!
I then remembered I had a 20gl frag and a Reffer 525. In that time, I lost some corals but overall pretty good.
My frag params bottomed out and ive been battling dinos since. I ordered 2 IM UV’s but passed on them when a fellow reefer let me borrow his 9w turbo twist UV.
Im loosing the battle on the LPS side. I’ve lost 4-5 torches, 1 fungia and 4-5 blasto mini colonies. Clam, nem, sticks, favias are doing great!
I put the algae under a microscope and confirmed the egg shaped, spinning dino. I replace carbon weekly but still can’t get a hold of it.
mid I put my blastos in my 525, would the dino reproduce in there? I’m asking because I’ve read the O. Dino can’t compete with regular tank params.
