Two - three days or when I notice the established fish aren't paying the box any attention any moreI was thinking about getting one to do this. How long did you leave it in the box?

Glad to see things are heading in the right direction.
I am starting to think I am nutrient poor too[...]I am beginning to do water changes every week and that is actually when the dinos started, so that makes me think even more that I am nutrient poor. My nitrate was 4 yesterday and phosphate was 0.027 with HANNA ULR
;StigWe pretty much called it;Stig on 6/21.
I think I neglected to post this helpful link:
A Nitrate Dosing Calculator For Better Tank Health (And Better Coral Color!)
You can follow similar advice for PO4 levels....target 0.10 ppm if you're still trying to suppress dino's.
I might've already posted this one for dino's:
Dinoflagellates – Are You Tired Of Battling Altogether?
Thank you!
I am feeding so much but still cant get the nutrient up. I am gonna have to go another route but I am scared to add chemicals in like that.
Understandable, but keep in mind it's a short-term measure. Also keep in mind these are nothing more than plant fertilizers...not even fancy ones.
Try reading through that dino thread cuz quite a few folks have done it at this point. Reading their experiences might help too.
Looks like it. Are there any bubbles?
looks like it to me also. Mine didn't have many bubbles but I confirmed with microscope. I did peroxide to rid of it.
I understand your hesitation with the peroxide. I have 99% sps and didn't have any issues.

No build thread. I did the 1ml per 10gl.
When I did mine I dosed it the furthest place possible from the corals so I dosed it in my overflow.Thanks, did you dose in the sump?

This way the peroxide has time to dessipate before the corals are involved.
And even that is prolly over doing it as long as you are not spraying the corals directly with peroxide there will be on Ill effect besides the cleanest water ever seen.
Nothing to be scared about if u do it right 1ml per ever ten gallons is nothing.
U would rather add something like seachums flourish which u have no idea what's in it instead of peroxide which is only water with one more part oxygen because of ur sps. I don't understand why people are scared of peroxide people dose it everyday to make the water as clean as can be and the don't dose the punny 3% peroxide we have they dose the 17%. Look at broafields tank he has one I forget what they are called.
Anyway it will be cheaper and better to do the peroxide way but u do what u want it is ur tank and I understand why u would be scared but don't be and just do it
