Dinos help.

[tylyerpaul4]

I have been battling Dino’s for couple months now. I have used a microscope and identified them as Amphidinium. I have tried everything to get rid of them. Daily sand vacuuming and manual removal. I have dosed beneficial bacteria (microbacter 7). I have tried multiple black out periods and still no luck. I have lost a couple corals to this. 0.08 phos 19.1 nitrate was parameters last time I checked. What else can I do to get rid of this??

I had good results with Fauna Marin Dino-X last year. No adverse affects to corals and fish when I used it.

Apparently there is small and large cell amphidinium dinos. Hopefully you have the small cell variety, which are swimmers (the go in to the water column at night), and as such a UV will help with these.
