If you’ve had lights out for 5 or more days, you can increase blue 5% daily and white 5% every other day until desired settings@vetteguy53081 do you think what I am having now could be diatoms ? It looks like it but the dinos looked like it also when they started.
When do you think I can start adding white light ?
Here is my schedule now. I started slowly increasing the blues and violets.
Yes chief, I will ! Thank you.If you’ve had lights out for 5 or more days, you can increase blue 5% daily and white 5% every other day until desired settings
Do add .5ml of peroxide per 10 gallons at night for another week as an insurance
Agreed. You need to know which dino specie this is. For some, a blackout makes things worse in the long run. All dinos are photosynthetic but most dino competitors are also photosynthetic. SOME dinos hunker down into cyst stage without light -- the sand based ones in particular. The competitors just die.Whatever this is, it doesn’t give up easily. There is some brown dust on the sand today, even with the half dose of peroxyde still going.
Today lights were 25% blues, violets and UV. No green red or whites.
Tonight I brushed it off the sand before dosing peroxyde again. I ordered a microscope and it should be here in a few days. I need to know what it is for sure or I won’t be fighting the right battle.
You’ve had horrible luck !I used Brightwell NeoNitro to raise my Nitrates to 1 ppm.
As I mentioned earlier I bought one and it should be here in a few days.You are playing russian roulette with your wallet. Buy or borrow a Microscope and get an accurate ID first. It was an easy $75 spend for me and I've even helped out another reefer since purchasing it. Not sure if it's worth anything but I saw one at FiveBelow today for $5 and says it has 450x mag on it which is plenty.
I see you are even thinking you might have Diatoms and not Dinos now. That's where I was at. Very frustrating but the positive ID you can begin the proper treatment to end it for good. Or until you stray and bottom out your nutrients again.
Oh, thats great! You'll be on track soon enoughAs I mentioned earlier I bought one and it should be here in a few days.
Looks to me like dino. Same recipe will work for Cyano@vetteguy53081 do you think what I am having now could be diatoms ? It looks like it but the dinos looked like it also when they started.

Are you saying this after looking at the pictures from my microscope on the other thread ? So you think it’s cyano ?Looks to me like dino. Same recipe will work for Cyano
As we are too lazy to page back, remind of us of your specie and your method?While I‘m here, the dinos have never returned. All is well.
