Ddnw-150

I have a medium stocked 90 mixed reef. I don't run a chiller, but awhile back when the A/C went out the tank got hot, and I had an attack of the dinoflagellates.

I was treating with the Ultra Algea X from Fauna Marin and some judicious cleaning help from a fellow reefer, and my tank looks better. However nitrates are still a concern.

With the new DDNW-150, being more efficient that the old Euro-reef I had, shouldn't it help me lower my nitrates? I read zero when I test, but the algae growth I had is masking the readings. And I am hateing the dinos but they are slowly receeding too.

Should I let the skimmer run and see how things go? Should I continue treatment with the Ultra Algea X at the same time or discontinue for a bit?
