possible dino issue

JBsmurf85 · 01/07/2012, 01:26 AM

I was wondering does anyone know if tanganyika buffer is reef safe?

I heard that by raising the pH of the tank and cutting the lights for a few days i might be able to eliminate a possible dino issue I think im having.

Im getting tons of tiny bubbles that are growing on the rocks but when the lights are cut for a few days they seem to disappear. Its starting to spread to some of my LPS and zoa frag disk.

If I cant get this under control im going to have to tear down the tank and nuke the rocks and put the corals through some extreme stress with a peroxide dip. I dont know wht else to do.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

I went lights out for about three days only turning them on for feeding (15 minutes). I stopped water changes for a month, started biopellets, and I cut heavily on my feeding. My dinos have almost completely receeded, now my lights are back to full schedule and there's no sign of those bastards coming back. I'm not sure if my course of action was recommended but it seems to have worked for me.
