+1 sniper hank it is an expensive hobby but worth it! Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Completed the max doses with dino x did a large water change still had a few stringy bits remaining so I did another 2 day blackout and my filter sock took a lot of the rest out I think I'm back on top of it again it's takes a few days to appear... Any ideas to keep it away? Large water changes...

I have a 6 head torch on the sand bed atm and he's doing great but that's under those powerful Chinese LEDs placement looks ok to me Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

It's probably your coral beauty eating them Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Yeah I understand just looking online I thought they may have been AFW or something anyway everything's fine and I probably left a few eggs on there anyway Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I accidentally bought caulerpa for my fuge and realised it could do this. When it starts to go clear that's the time to get rid as it starts to turn sexual. I binned mine and started again with cheato as I was paranoid it would go everywhere. But your brown stuff looks like the start of my dino...

So basically they won't harm the coral unless they smother it? They look gross which is one of the reasons I got rid Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Yeah sniper hank I think your right. I did another dip and all those brown dots are the eggs I scraped off it. Must be about 100 of them! Are they AFW? Would the flatworms eat any corals? I've read they like acropora which I don't have thankfully ? Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Sorry those pics haven't come out very good I did a coral dip and got these off but now back in the tank I can see these are these eggs? They are brown and around the base of each torch? Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Found 4 of these crawling over and around my torch They look like oval flat slugs? Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

How much have you got in your fuge? I experienced the same thing removed a load of cheato and now I have hair algae in the dt Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I've just finished a 3day blackout with a sheet covering the DT I did read a thread that someone uses 3 day blackouts every month or so to kill off "unsightly" algae. Not every day is bright sunshine in the Caribbean ? still treating with dino x apparently it take a good 10 doses to start...

So followed treatment for 6 doses and a large water change but I still have dinos on the sand and it seems to be starting to grow on the rocks again. I am starting to loose the love! do I need to remove the sand bed? Where do you think my extra nutrients are coming from as I have cut down to...

So on the 4th treatment of dino x and looking about 70% dinos gone I am using 2x 200micron sock on the sump outlet pipe and swapping every few days. Water tests seem to have not changed at all. Corals are looking a lot more expanded and open and not strangled as much Sent from my iPad using...

Final pic before the assault commences tomorrow Dinos or cyano that is the question Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

If you don't have any saltwater equipment you will need a skimmer heaters good lighting led or t5 live rock around 10kg per gallon so 70kgs ro water for top offs and salt for mixing water changes etc... It is easier with a bigger tank like they say above and I think the fish and corals look a...

I have learnt to always research livestock before purchasing don't take Lfs advise for granted they just want to make a sale Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I'm guessing this is all coming from the new sand I added and it's eating the new addition of nutrients from that.... Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I have a fuge in the sump with a big ball of cheato will the cheato not out compete the brown stuff? Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I have always used ro/di for top offs. I currently give my fish 1 cube of either mysis or shrimp or pinch of flakes once a day with nori every other day. Is this too much? I also use phosphate removal pads in the sump for the water to filter through is it worth getting a reactor? Sent from my...

Since my first post I've added 4700lph extra to the tank almost doubling the flow however brown stuff remains although it's not growing over the corals now does anyone know what this is as can be either dino or cyano? Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I added another 3200lh powerhead last night slight improvement but not great Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

After my 2 day blackout it vanished from my dt and grouped in my sump like cobwebs. So plan of attack is to add more flow and chemiclean? Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I am pretty sure it's dinos now hopefully these pics will confirm for someone to tell me what it definitely is? As you can see its strangling my Xenia I blow off with a turkey baster daily. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice
