fighting Dinoflagellates with Ruby Pro

[Rams & Clowns]

I have an outbreak of Dinos in my 130 mixed reef. My LFS proprietor persuaded me to buy a large bottle of ruby reef pro. He said I needed to dose the tank five times with it to cure the problem. That’s what I did, and apart from polluting my tank, it did absolutely nothing to the dino’s. I have all the dinos in the tank that I started with five days ago. Luckily it didn’t hurt any of my livestock either though. The stuff is Reef safe and Dino safe! Just a heads up…. IMO, this stuff does not work on Dinos.

Thanks for the update. Most “reef safe” medications are also safe for the target organism (sigh).
