I don’t know what to do. I followed the advice in the Dino’s thread but it’s only getting worse!
Here’s what I did: raise phosphates and nitrates by feeding heavily,
Dose silicates.
That’s pretty much all I did.
I have corals and fish in this tank. I really need these Dino’s gone because I’m scared it will harm my livestock. Corals are getting covered and I have sand burying wrasses.
Here’s what I want to try: H202 dosing + black out.
My concern is I don’t want to kill the bacteria in my tank with h202. I am working so hard to make my tank mature and healthy and I think this will take me back.
Things I didn’t try: vibrant, Dr. Tim’s waste away.
I have coolia Dino’s and they do NOT leave the substrate. They stay put.
My skimmer and filter socks are off because I was worried about making my nutrients too low. They are currently around .10 and the Dino’s are worse than ever before! The walls, sand, and rocks are covered in a rusty brown with snot on the sand.
Is there any hope. I feel like this will last forever.
Please note: this picture looks better than now. My PO4 was around 0.07 and I overfed pellets because I thought the higher my nutrients the faster they would go away…NOT TRUE!! Dino’s LIVE for nutrients.
The Dino’s are completely covering my back wall ever since I raised my nutrients higher.
