So I just hit my tank with Chemiclean and am hoping that it takes care of this nightmare of brown slime every where. My real concern is that it might not be and could be dyno which I am praying it’s not. Since I have been out of the hobby for a bit is there any quick simple ways to get rid of dynos now days? I seen a new product of the local fish store called dino eggs my concern is the safety of my corals through all of this.

When the tank sufficiently matures and the parameter on point and stable, it will go away.
No miracle here, just time, water and patience...

Yeah, as stated above, the into real cure for algae is proper maintenance and time.

Yes, that is a Dino outbreak. Looks exactly like mine. I bought a UV filter and it was gone in a few days. I don't like using chemicals and in all my research none seemed to be able to work 100%. Problem with dino's is that there are many different types and the only way to know which one is with a microscope. There may be different solutions for the various types.
