Hi guys Ive been fighting dinos the last couple months and ive finally decided it must be my macro sucking up the nutrients. i've had modest success with a uv sterilizer, dosing bottled bac, cutting water changes, sporatic blackouts etc, but the dinos remain. I have a rock with a ton of caulerpa brachypus on it and one more where it is starting to spread. I've plucked it off the rock before but it grows back extremely quickly. I've been doing research and have seen that maybe pitho crabs will eat it or rabbitfish. Problem is I have a 40g tank and dont want to throw a bunch of animals in that might not even solve the problem. Also the fact that my tank is 100% too small for a rabbitfish.
Right now I am leaning the algaecide route (reeflux) but just wanted to see if there are other options. I dont really like dosing a bunch of chemical into my tank but am at my wits end with the dinos and various invasive algaes. (Bryopsis and bubble algae are also present just in smaller amounts)
