I was thinking about something a little different here, we surelly do not have a simple solution that works for all dinos, unfortunatelly, but for a long time we started to understand what are great conditions that predict dino problems in the future.
So this list is kind of a joke (many items like dry rocks are actually my preference for many reasons, but sadly they are part of the list). So if you would love to have some dinos, here is the recipe:
- start a tank with dry rock and everything pretty sterile;
- have strong lights with high intensity with a long photoperid from the start;
- start ASAP with very intensive filtering and ultra clear water: over skimming, GFO;
- aim for ultra-zero nutrients: zero nitrates and zero phosphate all times, and use a good test to verify;
- have high iron and ultra zero silica;
- if you have any signs of algae just medicate ASAP: fluconazole and chemiclean as soon as bit of green algae or cyano appears;
- as a plus you can just drop some water from a tank with dino problems, but any livestock from any other source might work if that’s not available;
Hope you enjoyed, and most important: do not try this at home!
