    I have an algae out breach of a few different kinds Dino being one mild I think. If I do a tank black out for three days or so will this help. No feeding as well.

    A few months so I'm sure that is the main reason. I need to check my rodi water as well. I'm sure a bigger clean up crew will help my main concern is the Dino it is starting to get out of hand.

    New tanks will go through these type of out breaks. Best keep doing water changes and ensure a stable environment. your water will mature and get through this, all part of the "go slow Let it grow" 3Reef mantra
