Thanks, I pushed a lot of bacteria already for beating Dino... But I agree with you, I am prepared to dose Silicate, Nitrate, Phosphate, Carbon, bactera, phytoplanction... Green algae, Diatomics, bacteria... all is better than Cyano and Dino...
@mjumper No not at this stage. What do you think? Have I prolonged the suffering not dosing day-1? If you move to the end I reveal next step in mind, dosing live sand and Microbacter7. I've monitored Cyano a few days further to see the development and now I reset the sand with gravel cleaning and new layer substrate. Why I did it like this was that I wanted to avoid dosing beneficial stuff if the conditions would still favor Dino or Cyano... not sure it was the best
@martinpace1392 Have you seen them hit Dino's and Cyanos as well? In fact I have quite a big population of pods at glass... but I believe they go away when diatomic algaes implode..
@DontCare3000 My main clean up relies on copepods and amphipods, then I have a set of nassarius snails roaming the sand to move it about, and also one wrasse. I used to keep small hermit crabs and Trochus snails, but, hermits preyed on Trochus, So I moved hermits to the sump. Now the Trochus have been knocked out ( I assume it is Dino toxicity). I have a new set of Trochus snails in the QT, but they need to cook for 77 days to avoid introducing Ich. In the top of the chain I have the fox face and my 2 tangs to graze, and yeah, they are quite efficient.
Microbacter 7 or microbe lift special blend and add some silicate.

Have you tried adding new bacterias to your tank?

Add copepods and nassarius snails.

What does your clean up crew look like?
