Sorry if you already answered this but could you dose Metro then kill them with a UV sterilizer?

No Metro is only good for about 14 days. Most dinoflagellates will enter a cyst form rendering metro ineffective.

The will pass through as the cell size is only 20-25 uM
Hobby felt I have found to be the most efficient at capturing them as they stack up against the felt.

ostreopsis ovata... this evil thing... I still don't know how to get rid of them and so far nothing on this thread provides a clear and fast way to eliminate this thing. It's so frustrating. My corals are barely growing and many are constantly harassed by it. Really just want to quit and start over in some years.

So far this thread subject has been a big help.. I was in FW tanks for 20 years.. and was anal about using water conditioner ..even for top off.. now here I am purposely dosing bleach... lol.. but it has worked so far.. last night was last dose.. and I have to say my tank has not looked this good in months of fighting dinos.. what few corals i have are open and happy... first time in months I have seen my zoas.. GSP mat is clean and all open... it is cool to watch under scope... take a lil sample... add a diluted drop of bleach..and boom they stop moving.. wished I could hear the lil basta*** scream...

Ok, one thing I have a question about is can I run carbon while bleach dosing, amd do ammonia badges continue to be accurate when dosing....I'm pretty sure you can't run carbon

I am going to grab some bleach on my way home from work today. Do the caculations about the ml per gallon then round down, would much rather dose less than too much. Also I am only on page 90 so far, but are the calculations below still accurate.
.003/Chlorine % = ml per gallon (dose that 2x a day)
