So just recently went through a 5 day ultra low light period (5% blue for photosynthetic corals). I've been running a uv the entire time as well. I've been dosing seachem prime. I also dosed hydrogen peroxide for those 5 days at 1ml per 10g.
After this I noticed a slight reduction in the strength of the dinos but not much. My phosphate readings on my hanna are steady at
08-.1 currently, my nitrates have been locked in at 10 for a while, my corals are absolutely thriving in the tank, yet I have dinos.
My only thought is that the chaeto Im using had dinos on them when I purchased it. When my phosphates accidentally dropped to 0 a few weeks ago without me noticing they took over. My chateo seems to hold onto a lot of them as well (it's in a reactor which I'm actually cleaning tonight).
Is chaeto possible my problem? Could it be a place the dinos are thriving? Should I get rid of the chaeto? My filtration is filter floss, purigen and chemipure blue, fluval biomax, chamber 2 is a protein skimmer and currently a pump to my chaeto reactor.
