I also gave a sample to a friend yesterday to look under a microscope and he said it looks like Dino. So i guess my next step is now trying H202 during a blackout if that doesn't work look at using metro. I read Jennc comments but i have also read conflicting comments stating no water changes should be done during treatment.

I'm not familiar with the Redfield ratio, i'll have to read up on that. I did read that increasing No3 does play a role as well.
Bummer. Good luck. H2O2 usually takes awhile too.
