Thank you all so much for your replies and suggestions. I really, really appreciate it!!
Well basically, I've decided to try starting out with the basics. Obviously, my biggest worry is dino algae - and since I'm unwilling to even think that's what it is, and since there isn't really a proven or easy treatment for dino - I've decided to basically proceed as though its everything but. Haha. Essentially, im going to follow through with all the advice I was given.
I went into my garage and hauled out a bunch of my 'i'll keep it just in case' stuff, and heres what ive gotten up to tonight
- I found an old reactor and put some gfo in it. Im running it in my sump now
- I did a 40% water change sucking out as much 'fur' as I could along the way
- I changed my ro/di filter
- I took out and scrubbed all plastic or removable items that were covered ie pumps, powerheads, ect
- Drained both overflows and rinsed all if the sediment out of them
- Set up a UV sterilizer that I acquired somewhere along the way
- I moved the corals into a smaller tank so that I can keep light on them, but off in my main tank.
So that, in a nut shell is where I'm at. I'll update my thread over the next few days. Hopefully I see a change, because if I do, its probably not dealing with DINOFLAGELLATES. Fingers crossed
Ugh. Time for bed.
Thanks again
