I def plan to now! Although I’m looking this morning with a flash light and don’t see them anymore …. lolI would suggest getting a uv sterilizer
After the lights have been off all night? IIRC they will recede at night. I would try to get a shot under whites. Im dealing with a mild outbreak myselfI def plan to now! Although I’m looking this morning with a flash light and don’t see them anymore …. lol
I had someone come over with a par meter and help me set up my light so now I’m nervous to adjust anything until I learn this app better. hydra 32After the lights have been off all night? IIRC they will recede at night. I would try to get a shot under whites. Im dealing with a mild outbreak myself
It depends. If in the early stages of a dino outbreak..then yes...less aggressive treatment works. But once they take hold and start outcompeting..it becomes a lot harder to let it self rectify. What are your nitrates and phosphates? I found when these numbers are bottomed out..dinos come on strong.I’m trying to avoid a blackout bc of my corals. And I have a 25g Biocube… would 3% hydrogen peroxide or Microbacter 7 do anything to help it?
I have to do a water test again after a water change and cutting down feeding. I’m sure they aren’t perfect though since the tank is newer.It depends.

Cutting down feeding is actually one of the reasons why your numbers bottom out which can lead to dinos. You want at least minimal amounts of nitrates and phosphates. Trying to starve your aquarium because you worry about too high of nitrates and phospates usually triggers the dinos. I shoot for about 10 nitrate and .03 phosphates. It is when i let my Cheato take everything out of the tank is when the dinos come back. I actually dose nitrate and phosphate in my ATO to ensure i always have minimum levels in the tank.I have to do a water test again after a water change and cutting down feeding.

I’ve been talking to my LFS about replacing the black filter sponge, carbon and stuff my tank came with with something else. The filter is making the water stagnant in the back. And I only cut feeding a tiny bit. My salt got a little out of whack recently but everything in the tank coral and fish wise is happy still. Just not sure what the first step I should take here is. I really don’t want to do a blackout if I can avoid it.Cutting down feeding is actually one of the reasons why your numbers bottom out which can lead to dinos.

If just a couple of bubbles here and there..you can probably work on you water chemistry and try not to go drastic. Looks like just starting..so you should have a shot of avoiding the black out.I’ve been talking to my LFS about replacing the black filter sponge, carbon and stuff my tank came with with something else.

I’m thinking about trying Hydrogen 3% Peroxide but I’m not sure how much to put in my 25G Biocube or how oftenI'm dosing Hydrogen Peroxide and phyto after my new tank bloom and it's killed 90% in 2 weeks.
I also scrubbed rocks and vacced out the sand for the last 2 water changes.
I run Ozone and UV, I couldn't imagine how bad they would be otherwise.
