I'll be another to tag along as I'm battling the same thing with my 34G Red Sea Max. I thought it was just another algae phase in my tank seeing as it is only just over 2 1/2 months old. But helpful people (thanks colin) pointed out that it could be the dreaded dinos, and with further research, sure enough.....
We've done a 3 day black-out, and while the tank looked great yesterday, today I'm noticing some of that tell-tale brown stuff starting to return on the sand and floating around through the water.
We're running rowa-phos, and are doing everything suggested by the research findings, (thanks for everyone's experiences), and we've pretty much concluded that the skimmer from the red sea isn't doing it's job. So, we've got the tunze nano on order, should be here in a couple days, and I guess we just hold our breath and keep the lights out until it arrives. Only losses so far are about 7 or 8 snails and the jury is still out on my zoas.
Good luck to you Keri.
