Dinofree for 4 months (ostreopsis ovata)
Decided to share my experience
Here's my take:
I believe raising ph and nutrients is a good overall plan. Things to consider are fresh air for the skimmer, dosing kalkwasser, baking soda etc, increase water movement, use coral food and feed more.
Now here is the trick to get the upper hand fast:
Turn off absolutely all the flow for about 10 min, you will then see the dinos release into the water, now this is where you make your move: dump 5% bleach in the overflow and turn back on your flow, once the bleach circles back to the tank it will bomb and kill all the dinos in the water collumn instantly.
Now, I don't take either credit or risk, try this at your own caution. My dose was 10 ml once a day (when they are most noticeable) continue til you cannot find them with the microscope, in my case about a week. No injury to either fish or corals.
My tank is about 650 l including sump with livestock holding mainly acros, hammerhead, montis, clowns and surgeons.
Best of luck all
