Hey guys. So I have a very small number of Dino's in my tank. It's not a massive outbreak and is more just a few tiny bubbles at the end of the day. They have not been getting worse. However all of my efforts to eradicate them have failed. Tried h2o2, week long black out, using bacteria sups, shutting of skimmer, raising ph. I'm at a loss. Any other ideas?

150 gal tank. Perfect perams. 1200ppm mg
Fudge with cheto and mangroves

I had a serious issue with dinos; they took over everything. I tried everything over the course of 2 years to get rid of them. Nothing worked and I was ready to take the tank down. Then taking the advice of a LFS here, I increased my Mg to 1500 and my Alk to something off the charts high. The tests wouldn't go that high so I'm not even sure what it was. 15+ :-) That finally did it and I've been dino free for a year or so.
 
wow... do you think it was the MG or the Alk? I cant imagine doing that much Alk cuz it would kill coral but MG is doable
