There is not simple cure unfortunately to this sh.t... You can search here or clay-boa there are many solutions but no one works 100%. There are so many species (kind ) of Dino... Some use Metronidazol or bleach... Dino is hard to kill

I turned my light schedule down to as low as possible for a couple hours a day, just long enough to keep coral alive , vacuumed the sand aggressively and ran extra GFO. Went away in about 2 weeks. I had it really bad on my new tank. Hope it helps, this stuff is ugly

the aggressive metro dosing cured it for me. When the dino started dying, I started getting cyano (this is good, in this case). Currently cyano is dying off, no dinos that I can see, hair algae starting to sprout up (again, this is good in this case).
In that clay-boa thread there's like 5 different dosing methodologies they all tried. I did the most aggressive one. |

Turbo and astrea snails did die. I noticed them getting sluggish on about the 3rd day and removed them to a QT, didn't make it so I guess it was too far gone. Other inverts were fine (other types of snails, tiger conch, shrimp, crabs)
I did the filter socks (changing them daily like recommended), and spot removed any visible dino everyday. I did this for about 3-4 days after dosing stopped as well. I did notice less and less I had to clean up as time went on. |

I did the 250mg per 10 gallons for 13 days I thought. If they said 14 then I might have done it for that. I think the daily filter socks and blasting the dinos away everyday is really important to this method. I doubt it works if you just dose everyday and ignore the cleaning part.
This was after I did the 3 day treatment at 125mg/10 that they were recommending at the beginning of the thread. It helped but didnt clear all the dinos, and they were back within a week. I stopped following that thread shortly after the bleach concoction they were trying out, since my problem was already fixed. Its 138 pages deep now, crazy |

I've dealt with dinos with my last tank which was full zeovit method. Dosing H2O2 will kill them and possibly reboot your tank but it doesn't fix the underlying problem. New water from water changes fuels more dinos. So does dying livestock. Dinos are an inherent risk with probiotic methods. A blackout is probably safest and hope they die off enough so the biology can become balanced again.

Any input from aquaforest team on dealing with such issue? Will dosing more coral B help?

I don't believe that coral b would do much for Dino.
The first thing I'd look at is your incoming water quality. Silicates can really add fuel to the fire if you know what I mean. Check the tds of your rodi water. Several years ago I had this issue and it was due to silicates getting in because my rodi filters were worn out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yes phosphate removal media will help remove silicates.

if you are not supposed to do water changes, how can I get rid of the stringy stuff? BRS TV says you still need to manually remove
