120G tank
3 young tangs, 3 wrasses and 2 small percs. Spectrum pellets daily (small pinch), nori 3-4 times per week and frozen food 2x week (1/2 a cube). Definetely not overfeeding - if anything I'm under feeding.

I would suggest running a few pads of Polyfilter, the Poly pads to adsorb certain forms of silicates that will not show on the standard home test kit. "Poly-Filter can sorb polymeric silicates . Collodial silicates exist in a flux state with a percentage of the particles sticking to each other and organic compounds or complex inorganic compounds which helps form the complex polymeric silicates. As the collodial silicates are converted over to polymeric silicates they are sorbed by Poly-Filter."

Are the dinos harming your corals, or is it your attempts to rid your tank of them. Maybe its time to take a deep breath and slow down a bit. Remember to put your corals first, or you could loose them all!
Try the Rowa you just bought and see if it helps. Give it at least a month before you move on to something else. Something has to be feeding the dinos, its just finding out what it is. I know, easy for me to say  hang in there!

Rob - Great advise. I basically came to the conclusion about a week ago that I should put the corals first.
Once the dino's appeared I didn't do anything for 6 weeks hoping they would run their course and die out (like diatoms). Corals had great color and growth. For those first 6 weeks, other than being unsightly, the dino's only casuality was that the snails were becoming lethargic, falling of rocks and slowly dying. The sps were fine. I've come to the conclusion that this is gonna be a long battle. I read alot and their are many strains of dino's. Some are resistant to high PH. Other strains cannot handle high PH. Some are fueled by silicates others aren't. I'll try the Rowaphos and see where I am at a month from now.
