    Will I did several things. First I did the 3 days lights out, but I recommend against this since when the lights came back on so did the Dino, but I did decrease my lighting time. I physically removed it twice a day, it syphons really easy off the rocks and brushed it off the corals with a soft brush, netted out what I didn't syhpon out. I increased my specific gravity from 1.022 to 1.025, not sure if that helped or not and lots of persistance, you have to be more persistant in getting rid of it than the Algae is in growing.

    Thanks! I hope I get the nerve up to set up my 72 bow front. I'm getting very frustrated.
