I’ve been battling dinos for the past 6 weeks or so. I stopped doing wc, removed gfo, stopped carbon dosing, started feeding a TON more, added a legit uv sterilizer, removed my algae reactor, stopped cleaning my glass, and started AGGRESSIVELY dosing KPO4 and KNO3. I finally broke down and bought dr Tim’s Dino treatment and it’s still in the mail. Suddenly the Dinos disappeared once NO3 up to about 20. My PO4 test is expired so I’m a bit blind, but it has to be at least measurable. I do not run a skimmer. It’s day 2 of absolutely no visible dinos. How long should I wait until doing a water change. I’m sure my parameters are a bit wacky since I only dose kalk for ca and alk and rely on wc for other elements. Luckily I had no coral loss. My corals actually look great at the moment. I’m going to hold off on Dr Tims treatment and let things settle. A turf algae bloom is in the beginning stages.
