I want to order the Dr. Tim's Waste-away and Refresh and follow the process for getting rid of some dinoflagellates in my nano tank (13.5 gallon).
But I'm worried about the comments in his process about livestock. It says they can't guarantee snails and shrimp will survive the black-out period. I have a red-banded pistol shrimp paired with an orange-spotted goby, and don't want to lose them. Other than that, just two small clownfish, a few trochus and nassarius snails and blue-leg hermit crabs. I don't have any other tank or place to put them. I think the shrimp would have a nervous breakdown if it didn't sand to dig in and the goby by it's side.
Will they be safe or can I skip or shorten the blackout period? I saw comments in the dino threads saying it wasn't effective (the blackout part).
