I tried that...didn't work as well but it's better than nothing for sure.

Have you had a lot of battles with dino outbreaks in the past? I don't recall you mentioning one since I've known you.

Because I get rid of them like a boss! In all seriousness..once was because my p04 bottomed out..and twice was because of a treatment that I did on the tank so everything was out of wack...you know the treatment..lol.

An oversized UV sterilizer - a really big one with slow flow directly from the display and back into the display running at night will knock out ostreos quickly. Other types of Dino can be far more stubborn, and will require a long term method of manual removal, and encouraging bacterias and algae etc to outcompete them and time. They can co-exist in a mature healthy aquarium but not at plague levels once things mature. Destabilization events from quick fix methods usually result in a long extended battle with not only these, but then other nuisance algaes and cyanos. If corals are present in the system with the outbreak, trying to balance coral health while beating these is a really delicate balance, and is IME not a fast or easy fix

Yes...fortunately I've only had to deal with ostreopsis. The other non free floating types are a different animal.

Yup. That will do it. PO4 bottoming out was my issue as well. I think the last time I saw dino rearing its ugly head was when I set up the first 8' tank in the fish room. I was dosing nutrients, but when you move large colonies from one tank into that new one, and you haven't dialed in consumption rates, you're going to have turbulence. Nutrients bottomed out quick from thirsty corals, and dino was in business.
