ID only matters if you have a large tank invasion

ID does not matter one iota if you have a nano reef, because there are ways to clean a nano reef that beats all invasions

what kind of system do u have/gallonage

here's the fix thread anyway so there's no 9 hour cliffhanger :)

it doesn't matter what your issue is, this begins the fix. if they are dinos we expect growback to be the challenge. earning a totally clean nano isn't hard as we can easily see below. study the steps and run them exactly, you'll have a shiny tank.

there are several things we can do to suppress growback once the tank is cleaned, but even if you had a way/a doser/ a med/ or a clean up crew that would eat that mass out of the tank you wouldn't want to do that: it's translocating the invasion mass into waste, or dead + decaying tissue.

my rip clean thread is your fix: you cause the no-mass clean condition, then we run the commoner ways to prevent regrowth from the -clean- condition, not the invaded one.

the masses always have you adding things to the tank while the invasion sets in place, and those actions don't come with 7x fix example threads like rips do.
