When i called the LFS that i have been pretty well acquainted with, it was the owner that i talked too. he made me feel rather foolish, and i wasnt gonna argue with a man who owns a store with various high end corals with several expensive system that he assembled himself. He didnt seem to want to take it into consideration what i was telling him could be on any use to him because all hes read about dino is that it cant kill any corals and my one coral probably died by some fluke, like "your torch corals arm probably came off and stung it when it floated by".. i told him my torch is in great health.. and so is my water and that my coral was being covered in brown algae.. what im trying to say is that i dont think that he honestly cares what i think because to him im not experianced enough to talk to him.. i dont usually do buissness with him anyways, i go with younger guys there who are alot more open to what your gonna say to them.
o well maybe a dino outbreak will strike his own personal tank, and hell just turn the lights off and everything will just die and hell realize he coulda used some advise(although i hope this doesnt happen im not that sort of person)
its so wierd that i got a dino outbreak at the same time a diatoms outbreak is usually going to happen. i truly hope that if i get more brown algae its just diatoms.. except at this point ill be very scared if that happens cause i wont have any idea how to tell the difference. either way im mad at myself for just assuming i had diatoms, even though i guess it was a normal mistake, bcause you said dino is uncommon. i shoulda posted pics quicker and solved my problem faster
ill go to my other LFS where they are all very very aquainted with me and know basically everything about my tanks, theyre awsome there but their selection isnt as good. i bet if i told them i got dinos theyd ask more about it..
