I am fighting these devils for more than a month with absolutely negative results.
Before realising that I have to deal with dinos I employed frequent water changes, phosphate remover and carbon which seems that made the problem even worse.
After buying a cheap microscope I concluded that I have to battle dinos. I used DINO x but didn't worked. The corals seem to be ok, except from pumping Xenia which was severely affected. I am not sure if Dino x or the toxins from the dinos caused the problem.
What I intend to do (please advice me if I am wrong)
I used carbon in order to absorb whatever made the Xenia to react in such a way (either the toxins from dinos either dino x).
I stoped the GFO reactor in order to slightly increase phosphorus level.
I will use ATI's nitrogen source to increase NO3 from tomorrow.
I have set up a Refugium in order to function as a competitor to dinos. (unfortunately the only macro algae that was able to find was the red macro. I actually wanted Caulerpa, but I will go with what I was able to find)
Is anyone able to recognise which variety of dinos I have? (see attached video)
Any suggestions to fight them?
