Really curious to be honest. I've been contemplating tearing my tank apart as well. Been fighting dinos for the better part of 14 months. Here's where I am today,

Have you tried a UV? Or the elegant corals treatment ?

I do have a uv running. It took care of the ostreopsis but now I have coolia. I just started blowing them into the water column at night 2 days ago. That seems to be helping. Been thinking of pulling the sand out and rinsing it very well and replacing it as that seems to be the most affected. Keep bottoming out on no3 and po4 as well, so I've been dosing each daily.

CRABS! ;Shifty You broke my heart for a minute! I am glad you found a possible reason for the decline.

Crabs, if you glitter the bottom of that tank I'm going to cut all four corners off your man card! Lol

I suppose you are getting help in the dino thread? I added a UV, pulled my sand about 90%, stopped skimming & gfo. And od’d nitrate. Oops. The dino on the rocks has been gone a for a few months even with the UV off. The amphidinium had a few spots still so I am doing the elegant corals plan and so far it seems to be working. Good luck to you.

I'll have to read up on the elegant corals plan.

I have not followed it to a T and it is killing dinos.

I'm not happy with your jedi mind tricks sir. Not cool.

Hope the transition goes smoothly and we will have a sweet glitter thug life FTS soon.

We want glitter! We want glitter!

I still think painting the bottom with the glitter paint is an option, just saying, LOL!!!
