Its stringy with bubbles and covers the leather corals and back display ..constantly blowing it off the corals..
Comes back fast.. Dino x and or chemiclean next step.
If I keep the cheato going wont it fight for the nutrients.. Lights on the sump and blues only in the DT..
looking for some guidance.

When you say too effective.. I will be dosing nitrate and phos if needed to keep it up.. just think the cheato light will move the Dino's to the refugium..does DinoX have any effect on cheato?

Are you testing low range phosphates and nitrate? What are the numbers? Not a good idea to guess when you can get data and make an informed decision.
You have dinos, but not at all a plague. I'd skip dosing Dino X (which doesn't work on all species of dinos), up your nitrate and phosphate, and turn off your refugium light for 3-4 days. A bacterial additive might help increase competition and outcompete the dinos. A blackout wouldn't hurt for 48-72 hours.

Yes testing Po4 with hanna and nitrates with API. I test every other day .. now daily.
Yesterday Po4 was 34 PPB and Po3 was 5 ..Dosing Nitrate and heavy feeding for P04... Have kept my Cheato out the ref and in a bucket the last two days.
Turned up the MP40s to keep as much suspended in the water column hoping to catch as much as possible in the filter socks.. I have some chemiclean on hand but was waiting for the Dinox to come in.. not sure if I start with the chemiclean till the dinox comes in.
