I went through a horrible outbreak.
Here is what worked for me...
1. Raised the temperature to 82.5°
2. Halt all water changes and fresh high quality carbon
3. Daily dose of RedSea Algae Control
4. Daily dose of MicroBacter 7
5. Wait a few days
6. Continue above and add tiny amount of NeoNitro and NeoPhos every few days, monitor both and keep them in detectable, low range.
7. Wait two months and watch as the Dino slowly recedes and disappears. Replace the carbon with a fresh one.
8. Wait another two weeks of clear sand and happy critters before making any water changes, but monitor your parameters. I saw my calcium drop like a rock. Probably because corals started growing again, but who knows.
Wish you best of luck. This thing is a nightmare from hell but ended up being less scary than its made out to be. a couple frags didn't make it and some of my emerald crabs died off, likely from eating it, but everything else survived. Persistence and patience seem to be the two ingredients most needed. It seems to take forever for it to start going away.
