      Don't they just thrive on silicates in the water? Or are these different types?

      A multi angle attack works much better when fighting this stuff as you may know. Have you tried dripping kalk and using lathium chloride? Get both of these online then kill the lights for 3 day's, You should start seeing less and less of the stuff after that. Phosphates are thought to play a role with this stuff so you may have some leaching from your LR, the LC will definately help bind phosphates so it can get skimmed out, it will also do the same with the phosphates released by the din...

      What is your cause? Is it a clogged return filter, Skimmer Collection Cup, Or unknown?

  5. Dang, ROX and Clear Blue FX pro sure makes my water nice and clear!

      I bought mine on amazon. Texasnano is using it as well and has had great results. So far my dino is dissapearing fast. Not sure if its the carbon or the FX pro. At this point Im just happy to rid my reef of this crud! I'll pm you the link.

  6. Well all new filters, resin, ROX carbon, and clear blue FX....hoping I can destroy this dino that has returned...

      Good Luck. Pick up a $13 bottle of 100 proof vodka. Best bang for your buck.

      I had a red dino explosion in one tank, just changing my filters for the RODI and letting it run its course for a week took it away!

  7. Dr Tims arrived today! Time to do some rockskaping and fill the tank back up! Woot woot!

  8. Well tank is completely cleaned out, sump and skimmer are crystal clear again. Sand flushed out with vinegar and water. Rock soaked in vinegar and sun bleached. New return pump as well. Hoping to have tank back in the dining area this weekend and start over :(

      I had to nuke this dino. It litteral killed half my snails and now my new convict tang died because of it. Stuff is toxic!

  10. I wonder if I put some flinstone vitamins in my tank if the dino's will grow more??

  11. GAC + GFO + CHEMICLEAN + DARK...better win against this dino!
