Help dinoflagellates destroying my tank

[batt600]

Ive stated already that ive done peroxide with no success same with microbacter. My question is will the UV destroy the dinos or whats fueling them? And wtf is fueling them anyway?

Dinos starts from bad bacteria strane that take over the good and causes this problem you have . Water changes just fuel it more , helps feed it . Peroxide just lower the oxigene level in the tank for algea not for dinos that why it didnt work . A UV will kill Algea and Bacteria stranes in your tank. Get a good UV and the flow throw the UV is what you need to follow . Different flow throw the UV will kill certain things , so look at the chart thats given to you with the UV.

What you should do is Get red slime remover . This will kill all of it in 48H then Run a UV and you will never have this problem again

i should mention if I havent already is this tank is only 25 gallons anybody have any recommendations for submersible nano UV units. And Im assuming a slower flow is better cuz then theres more contact time with the light?

So to give an update on my tank I decided to start the tank over. :banghead:I got rid of all the rock, drained the tank, hosed it out with boiling water, hosed down all the equipment the same way and now I'm letting everything dry out. :tankid I miss anything and how long should I wait before I fill it again?
