So I have Dino and turf algae. I posted a tread earlier and everyone my turf algae could be used to beat the Dinos. So if I crank my leds up to 100 and nutrients up high will the algae explode and the Dino go away???

Yes I have 2 lights one on each side and I only have my corals on one side as well. So I only increased the lights on the other side from 1% to 70% because there’s nothing on that side and it’s two big rocks on each side as well so I was just going to grow a bunch on that’s side hoping it wouldn’t affect my corals. Also I only have softies and LPS corals so I think the will be fine in higher nutrients. But I like your idea better.at the expense of whatever coral you may or may not have in your system. a more measured approach to me would just be to increase nutrients and the algae will respond.
Thanks for the help. This is the 3rd time I’ve had them and I like that idea.Never heard of turf used to combat Dino.
For Dino- lights out is essential as flagellates feed off of light. You will for 7 days add liquid bacteria daily at 1ml per 10 gallons and 1.5ml of hydrogen peroxide at night for at least 5 days
You can leave blue in for coral but at 15% or so
Start by loosening algae/Dino with a turkey baster and siphon well
