Hello, all
I just came back home from a 4 day trip, only to find one of my tanks completely riddled with Dino’s. I am uncertain of what kind. I know that identification is a big must, but right now I’m more concerned of immediate action I can take. This tank has never had a problem, therefore, it houses all of my high end corals. This is my first time experiencing Dinos out of all 5 tanks I have up and running.
12/11: My nitrates hit 0.0ppm, and my phosphates were at 0.11ppm.
12/13: Started dosing NeoNitro-5x every other day in efforts to prevent an outbreak of any sorts (brother did it while I was gone). I have an evo 13.5, so my dose was 0.5ml.
Just got back on 12/18, my levels are reading Nitrate 1.5ppm and Phosphate 0.03ppm.
I am weery of doing a blackout because I fear my coral will die from no light and they are already stressed as could be. I have considered moving my coral to an existing tank I have but I don’t want it to follow along with. Thoughts of moving them?
My CURRENT plan is to run lights low, dose H2O2 at night, change filters everyday, continue to dose nitrates (just bought neophos to start dosing), and manually remove Dino’s little by little. Thoughts?
ANY advice will help.
Thanks
