Dino’s suck. We have all had a bad outbreak before. Just hang in there! I always had good luck with raising my nitrates and phosphates. But, I am not trying to tell you what to do, I am no expert on the subject. I am batting a small green Cyano outbreak. I almost have it beat. This hobby always keeps us on our toes
I have to get one of those Galaxea. When that grows up it's going to be a nice coral. Just don't touch it, I think they sting.
I am built to take advice. Any time you want. I love it. And ill tell you the coolest thing about my butterfly...she loves seaweed. Her name is Gracie.Dino’s suck.

Not cyano!! You need a hug cause that sucks.Dino’s suck. We have all had a bad outbreak before. Just hang in there! I always had good luck with raising my nitrates and phosphates.

That’s cool! I didn’t know butterfly’s ate seaweed! I am a big fan of copper bands, but they are really hard to keep, so I might just have to try one like yours when I upgrade down the road!
I didn't know either and I read they only do that when they are hungry. But I think she just mimics my tang. Now everytime I put it in, she's the first one running over to it. It's hilarious.
Cyano stinks but Dino’s can be much more difficult to manage. Green Cyano has been more temperamental to deal with over red Cyano for some reason.Not cyano!! You need a hug cause that sucks.
The way I beat dinos, or the way I THINK I beat dinos was to blow off the rocks right before lights out and suspend them, then throttle up the pumps, give a nice dose of peroxide and turn on my UV.
Literally stinks! Scoop up a small scoop and take a sniff.
No thanks. Been rid of mine for about 3 days now. Small scale Dinos starting in the 8 now.
Ive never dosed my tank with peroxide. So you know about how much for a 90 gal? I wont you accountable for any damages! I can have this notarized if you like.
Do I need to purchase a shipping box?
Lol, nah, I think we can get these to survive the trip in one of those padded document shippers!Do I need to purchase a shipping box?
Send enough so I can add some to all my tanks. I need to keep it fair.
Deal
I think I have about 70-80 gallons total here in my system. That's tank, sump and refugium out back.Ive never dosed my tank with peroxide. So you know about how much for a 90 gal? I wont you accountable for any damages! I can have this notarized if you like.
It's 1 mL per 10 gallons of water. I usually calculate my volume at 80-85% of the total (tank and sump) because of sand, rock, and equipment.Ive never dosed my tank with peroxide. So you know about how much for a 90 gal? I wont you accountable for any damages! I can have this notarized if you like.
Currently running Uv, added flow, filter floss at night. Adding bacteria, slightly overfeeding. Just ordered copepods and phyto. I think it may be time to introduce some peroxide.I think I have about 70-80 gallons total here in my system. That's tank, sump and refugium out back.
Tank is 45 gallons and way overbuilt with 3/4" thick acrylic. It's 3'lx2'dx12" tall.
Sump is about the same size as the tank. The biggest reef octopus sump. Another 25 gallons and then the refugium is like 10-15 gallons I think...something like that.
And I give 2, 2 second squirts out of the bottle into the sump. This is not exacting and of no major concern.
That much should raise your ORP about 30-50 points depending on your water's mood.
Excuse my tank. It's been been running for like a year on autopilot just maturing, so I'm just getting corals back in it now.
I pushed things too far last year.
It used to be this and was doing so great...until I screwed up. But that's ok! We can rebuild!
***The really important piece is the UV sterilizer.*** That's been huge for me. But the peroxide helps.
If you dont have a UV, I believe it's a great investment in the long term health of the fish and corals.
But I turn it off for a time when I feed phytoplankton.
thank you hun. Im grateful!
