    Will dino go away if I just leave it alone. I am using ro and am now using fish pellets every 2 days.

    What are your PO4 and NO3 like at the moment? To get rid of it you'll need to reduce nutrients, cutting back on feeding is a start. I would have just reduced the amount fed at a time instead of feeding every other day. What other filtration do you have? Skimmer etc.

    Plus what sort of CUC do you have?

    Tanks do tend to go through stages and algae will cycle in and out. Using an algal scrubber with skimmer will eventually remove most nutrients and dinos should die off. How long have you been running the ATS?

    to a large part thats true,though not necessarily smart,if you are using a good water source try changing foods for a while and see what happens
