DinoX and algae scrubber

[KimG]

Continuing my endless battle with dinos, I have been trying dinox on my frag tank. So far the results look promising.
I'm thinking about trying it on my display. However, my main nutrient export is a algae turf scrubber.
From the description it looks like it could affect the scrubber. As anyone tried dinox with a scrubber? Will it kill the algae in the scrubber?
Thanks

Hi Kristjan
Yes, I have been running it 24/7 for the last 3 or 4 months. Not much of a visible effect.

no experience with dino-x, but I did take my ATS off-line for 2 months while dosing vibrant. I don't know if it mattered - since I essentially have to regrow an algae mat anyway, but I kept it in a baggy and it has some algae left, so maybe it will not take long. I spit my drain between the ATS and a skimmer, so for me, one advantage was I could direct all the flow to the skimmer with the ATS offline - since heavy wet skimming was recommended.

I cured my Dino's by only Scrubbing. I turned off my skimmer and added a second scrubber. I noticed dino's like to grow on the scrubber. It took 4 months total to beat them with only scrubbing nothing else.
