Added a Tetra Whisper air pump on the outside patio, plumbed into skimmer air silencer. Bringing in outside air hopefully lower the CO2 in the tank thereby raising the pH.
After 2 blackout periods of 3days + dr. Tims bacterial dosing, Dinos have returned. Mission Failed.
Completed dr Tim Dino schedule but still have some dinos. Starting another 3day black out with refresh daily dosing.
Started Dr. Tim's Dino treatment DAY1, covered tank, lights off, dosed refresh
ReArranged rockwork and corals
ReefBuilders Podcast mentioned a possible remedy for Dinoflaglates is to raise the water temperature to 82F. I raised the tank temp from 76F to 78F today and will continue to monitor and raise it accordingly.
Increased Kessil Intensity from 50% to 60%. Aim to have 100PAR at sandbed and around 150-175 PAR around the top of rocks. BRS study shows 100% intensity at 12" = Avg 144 PAR & Center @ 6" Average = 200-280PAR (AVG150 PAR). So I'm probably under-lighting the corals. Will increase slowly over months...
Reefapalooza today with Matt and Dexter! Dr. Tim H. recommends increasing feeding to help beneficial bacteria flourish to fight dinos on the sandbed.
