Aquarium Algae Treatment for Reef Tanks: DINO X Nuisance Algae Killer for Hair, Bubble, Bryopsis and Dinoflagellate Outbreaks

When nuisance algae takes over a reef aquarium, DINO X provides a measured treatment routine for hair, bubble, Bryopsis and dinoflagellate growth.

The formula is intended for reef tanks and is stated to treat algae outbreaks without harming corals when used correctly.

Key Features

• Targets heavy outbreaks including hair algae, bubble algae, Bryopsis and dinoflagellates, giving reef keepers one focused treatment for several common nuisance growths.
• Safe for corals when used correctly, so algae control can fit into a coral reef maintenance routine.
• Does not destabilize the aquarium system, supporting steadier care while an outbreak is treated.
• Evening dosing or dosing one hour after the main lights shut off is recommended to support the product’s intended effect.
• A high-performance skimmer can be run wet and continuously during treatment to support aquarium management.

Specifications

• Available sizes: 250 mL and 500 mL.
• Standard dose: 5 mL per 100 L (26 gal) of aquarium water.
• Heavy infestations: up to 6 mL per 100 L (26 gal).
• Repeat dosing every 2 days until algae is eliminated.
• Do not use as a treatment for cyanobacteria.
• Do not perform water changes during treatment; resume the schedule 1 week after the final dose.
• Do not use ozone, carbon or absorbing media during treatment; run quality activated carbon after treatment to remove residual chemicals.

Measure total system water volume as accurately as possible, including displacement from rock and sand, and follow the recommended dose carefully. After the final dose, wait one week before resuming water changes, then use activated carbon as directed to remove residual chemicals.
