![]() And in the end it cost me about $150!
So my newish tank (45 gallon) had it bad, thick snot covering everything. Zoas were looking rough, lost a fish I'm assuming due to the dinos. It was on every surface from the sand to the rock to the glass. So at first I tried raising nutrients and manual removal. No way was I winning this battle. It came back stronger every day. Here's what I did. I started using Vibrant Aquarium Cleaner. I used the recommended dose but instead of once a week I did it twice. First dose I noticed a small difference, second dose a bit more but It wasn't moving as fast as I liked. On the 3rd dose I added a 24 watt UV sterilizer to my tank. Next morning they were cut in half easy, day after that 3/4s gone, 3rd day maybe 10% left on the 4th day, I added more vibrant and the next morning totally gone. Not one string of snot anywhere! Vibrant+UV destroyed them! All Zoas are back open and loving life and my tank is crystal clear!!! |

![]() I swear by UV sterilizers when it's comes to bacterial algae blooms.

![]() The only downside is they will also kill off the good bacteria as well. So watch for mini cycles after using the UV lights

![]() I had out break and killed all my SPS and most Zoa. All fishes were gone including cardinal, foxface and lawn mower.
All I had left was a plate coral, chalice and a rainbow acan survived. Since I had no fish left, no feeding and no water change reduced the amount of Dino. After 3 months, it was almost gone, but it come right back after a water change. Then I dose the Dino X for 2 weeks and now it is completely gone. Whew
