Well I have an update that I don't want to post.
The tank just kept improving until there was no trace of Dino that I could tell. I continued to dose like I have been but two days ago I started to see a little brown accumulating on the sand. I was hoping it was a diatom outbreak but today it's worse and the frag tank seems to be bearing the brunt of it as it's starting to get stringy again in there. I noticed my frag tank corals two days ago didn't look as great. The acan lords were retracted a bit and yesterday they looked worse. Then today the water has that film and floaters all in it from the dinos.
So here are some changes I made right before they started coming back.
1. I think this is the main culprit. I added like a couple hundred snails and hermits. A lot of the shells are still sitting where I dumped them initially so I'm thinking a lot of die off.
2. I increased the intensity of my light on the main display.
I did notice that a few days ago I had a DIP in my PH that's just now starting to rise again I think. Still watching.
I am going to continue dosing.
