Iv'e been doing the waiting game.
If you're running a really lean system you may need a long term approach of dosing low levels of nitrate. I find feeding keeps phosphate coming in and you really don't need much. But I am running Marine Pure so if I don't dose KNO3 mine stay at zero. My target is Nitrate at or around 5 ppm and But it's REALLY easy to overdo it. My total system volume is 330 gallons and it's a decently stocked mixed reef with a medium fish load. I mix 45 grams of KNO3 granules with a half gallon of RO and then dose 10 mL of that solution once or twice a day depending on uptake. Dont dump tablespoons of stump remover in your tank if it's 90 gallons. Dinos like it when your water falls below the Redfield ratio (N) of 16:1. Get your nitrates up however you want and the dinos should go away. They'll most likely be followed by a diatom bloom though so just be patient. Best advice is slow gradual changes. Also, if your nutrients drop again they might come right back.Ok So I agree with doing things naturally, I could very well be over reacting to this With the additives .
