No problem. Paying forward. Did you go to the page I linked above. That’s the thread that @mcarroll saved my tank
I’m glad you beat them and didn’t give up. So many do when they are about to turn the corner.I'm sure I have some nitrate because as you know api is not very accurate. At this point my P04 was .003 last I checked. About 3 weeks ago I added a few frags such as red planet, purple stylo, green poccilipora, 3 different kinds of cap, green turbinaria, and a piece of setosa. All corals are maintaining their color and doing well, but hey I appreciate the advice. Never hurts to throw it out there.
Thanks for the input but Bleach is not what is being discussed. We are looking at restoring balance back to the tank along with biodiversity. Long term success is based on having nutrients and biodiversity in the tanks. Loads of success doing it the RN method. RN= restoring nutrients. I don’t like the dirty method phrase.What worked for me was the bleach method. I DO NOT RECOMMEND OR CONDONE ANYBODY USING BLEACH IN THERE AQUARIUMS. I was okay with having losses, after fighting dinoflagellates for over a year using every method I could find. I almost gave up the hobby because of it.
Actually bleach was discussed in this thread in July 24th 2016 (page69), it was discovered by twilliard. I was just updating on what worked for me. I tried everything including the dirty method and the metro method. So far I've been Dino free for over 2 years.Thanks for the input but Bleach is not what is being discussed.

How many times have you used bleach? ;HilariousBleach worked every time I had it.
Twice.....I got it twice due to different issuesHow many times have you used bleach? ;Hilarious
How do you use bleach without killing your inhabitants?Twice.....I got it twice due to different issues
Very carefully.....there is a formula. I did it for about 10-15 days and things cleared up.How do you use bleach without killing your inhabitants?
Please inform us!Very carefully.....there is a formula. I did it for about 10-15 days and things cleared up.
So the forumula I used is .003/.06*gallons in your system. The .003 is the constant. The .06 is the percent of bleach found in chlorox. If you use another brand look at the label and see what percent bleach it is and use that instead. Then of course your systems water voulme. Mine is 125. Math works out to 6.25. that's means 6.25 ml of bleach to be dosed twice a day into the tank..first time around I slowly poured into my dt near the return line and power head. Didn't want it to sit in one area for too long. Second time I set up my doser and just dosed into my return section of my sump. Once in morning. Once at night. Roughly 12 hours or so apart.Please inform us!
