    I had dinos. I didn't mess around, I don't like to add "unnecessary chemicals" before trying the natural ways of getting rid of stuff. I read about it for about a week. Step one: started boosting my PH for about a week as to not shock anything. Step two: 36 hours with my tank and sump covered with blankets total lights out. Corals and fish don't like this method. BUT.. Most of my coral I was having to suck off the dinos two times a day to keep them from being smothered. Didn't feed during that time either. Dino free for 4 months.. no sign of a come back. ;D Hope this helps!
