Dinos and how to battle them

I share with you some of my research on what are Dinos, how to identify them, and the different ways to battle them.

3:15 - start of treatment regime
4:42 - 1 week into treatment
6:55 - 2 weeks into treatment
9:46 - 3 weeks into treatment

If you don't want to watch the whole thing, here is what i did:
1) stopped all coral feeding and amino acid dosing
2) started to balance nutrients in my tank; i had undetectable phosphates since the tank was started; i slowly dosed seachem flourish till my tank hit above 0.1 ppm phosphates. I also targeted 5 ppm nitrates
3) i added a Jebo 36w UV sterilizer
4) i continued running carbon
5) I did water changes every few days, each time removing a bit of my sand bed
