[Mick51]

Been “battling dinos for almost a month now,nitrates we’re 0 got them up to approx 10 Po3 is a bit high .16 . tried dosing Vibrant..Didnt seem to do a lot I saw someone on here posted clamping a poly filter sheet on the glass to catch it that works but the dinos remain.. I’ve seen some have luck with UV and I don’t want to spend 3-4 hundred on 1 I saw one on chewy it’s the same 1 I have on a freshwater tank it’s a “sunsun” with uv sterilizer for 100 gal tank $75 would this be enough for this 75 gal tank I have?

Before getting the UV just for Dinos, you'll need to ID the Dinos to see if the UV will even be effective. Get a sample of the dinos under a microscope to see what kind they are.

Start with this document Mick. There is an awful lot of conflicting noise out there about dinos along with several generic "methods".
