Hey all,
Starting off with a little background: My 120G tank has been up and running for 7 months now and for about the past month and half, I have been dealing with Dinos. I purchased a microscope to ID and found that I have Ostreopsis. Installed a UV which has been running for 2 weeks at this point.
PO4: .03ish (I’m colorblind and have trouble reading these test kits but I’m sure that it’s not 0)
NO3: 50 (Ik high)
Every day sometimes two times a day I siphon through my filter socks and get it all off the rocks, and change out the filter sock. Next day, it all comes back. I haven’t done a water change in about 3-4 weeks now as I keep getting told not to because it will just feed the dinos. I have also tried dosing MB7 with no luck either. I really don’t know if I could do a blackout period because I got corals and don’t want to cause any unnecessary harm to them...
What is my next step because this has been a long long battle with these dinos and feel like I have had no progress?
Thanks
