Started my nuvo 10 back in November and over last few weeks have been battling dinoflagellites.
It didn't start off too bad, limited to a corner of the tank but has been spreading daily despite my best efforts..probable cause was my nitrates and phosphates were both 0 which I've read dinos thrive in.
Over past few weeks I've tried 3 day blackouts, which get rid of them until the lights turn back on for a day then they grow back
Stopped doing water changes cause read that just feeds them..
In attempt to spur other algae growth to out compete I have started dosing nitrates which are now around 5ppm, and started dosing hydrogen peroxide at 1ml per 10gallons (started this a few days ago)
Corals are doing OK, some are quite unhappy when the brown strings cover them. Looking for any other recommendations before this stuff takes over my tank completely
