well i think i may have finally kicked the dinos. dont know what 1 thing killed it but i tried alot of different things. heres a list
replaced ro/di filters twice cleaned all pumps and redirected wavyseas more water changes/ less water changes replaced MH bulbs cut feeding down to every 3 or 4th day turned CA reactor off tested any water associated with tank ran lots of carbon excessive sandbed syphoning and cleaning rocks wet skimming chemipure the final draw was an 8 day blackout which killed it off finally. but the dino spread was so big that when it died off it completely polluted the tank and killed alot of corals and caused a big chain reaction of death. but so far it has not returned. most of the corals really really browned out but now they are starting to color up again. all LPS but 2 frogspawns died. we'll see how it goes. i really hope it doesnt come back though

i'm actually enjoying looking into the tank again so i couldnt refuse taking a couple tank shots. i know its pretty drab looking right now with stuff browned up but slowly the color is coming back. i kind of wish i had taken pics when the dinos overrun everything to compare to now.

Dude it looks awesome. Don't worry about the SPS colours they'll come back.. I wish I could keep brown SPS... It's a great looking tank. Onwards and upwards.

i got a new camera on boxing day and have taken hundreds of pics trying to figure out how to use it. starting to get there. after a couple weeks still no sign of dino's. thank god. corals are really recovering their color (still a ways to go) and they are going through a wicked growth spurt which is awesome. just thought i'd toss out a few pics to ya.
  do you think i starve my naso?

new top down photos
i dont have a clue what happened to last pics but anyway. i got a phosban reactor and rowaphos and it has been running for about 2 weeks and already po4 is undetectable. i'm stoked about that because the tank has been running i have always had 0.05 po4. i took a huge amount of top down pics today so sit back and relax
