small dino problem

[deep6er]

I have a small Dino problem. What are some ways of treating it?
flo?
snails?
MicroBacter7?

thanks

The only thing that worked for me after trying many things was running mechanical filtration at night time using filter floss, they were gone in 3 days.

raise pH to 8.4... if it's a new tank they may burn out themselves. You an also go lights out for a few days.

what does it look like? strings with trapped bubbles, or a mat? are you having a hair algae dieoff?

 

[deep6er]

no hair algae. It is like a mat, but on all the surfaces. Bottom, sides and rock.

I think I might try lights out for a few days.

how old is the tank? Dino's are usually a sign of a new or biologically unstable tank parameters. Boost your Ph with kalkwasser, DO NOT DO A WATER CHANGE, run active carbon instead until bloom subsides, need to limit the silicate that they build their shells with. I would also suggest looking into an alternate water source if this is an established tank.
