I have had my tank going on 4 years. I almost crashed it a couple months back but brought it back from the dead.
This week I accidentally dosed too much NoPoX and yesterday discovered all except one of my clowns died. I killed my green clown goby, platinum clown, hawk fish, and six line wrasse...

We have had an outbreak of Dinoflagellates...which we had originally thought was just diatom (fairly new reef, 1.5 months old). TL;DR don't over feed your new reef!!! (I know better too, that's the worst part :()
First misdiagnosis lead us to Vibrant to attempt to control the alleged diatom...
For the record, there is no "cure" for algae as it's not a disease. That's the only reason the word "cure" is in the title. :)
Now for HOW to spot-treat algae! (More about "why" after the how...)
Fill a small syringe with 1-2 mL of regular hydrogen peroxide
Shut off all flow and wait for the...
