I've been at war with a case of Prorocentrum Dino's that are all over the sand (90% covered) + rocks (90% covered). I've tried the following below with limited/no success in beating them back.
I believe I'm a good candidate for DinoX as I only have two corals, a small Zoa (currently getting smothered by dinos) and a frammer coral. No risk of losing substantial amounts of coral. Thankfully I've gone really slow with stocking my tank as I expected roadblocks, so this leaves me with more treatment options vs other tanks that are full of coral.
The below has not helped
As the title states, it's time for a hammer. DinoX is expected to arrive on the 21st. I will post here as things hopefully progress.

The below has not helped
- P & N were dosed and have been kept at elevated levels since dino infestation was confirmed. I'm now consistently at 20 - 30 N and .1 - .2 P.
- H202. No effect
- Blackout. No effect
- UV. No effect, water is clear though!
- No water changes. No effect
- Manually siphoning sand bed and toothbrush for rocks. This really ticks them off and they explode back within hours
- Mb7 + Phyto, no effect
- Added live ocean rock and ocean sand. No effect
