Fishdad's Reef Setup

Little update on my dinoflagellate issue. As of yesterday they were beginning to get out of hand, so I drove around from fish store to fish store until I found a bottle of Ultra Algae X that got a good review on another forum. Most people have never heard of it. Its instructions are in German and is extremely rare to come by in the US apparently. Dosing instruction (I found english translation) are 5ml per 100lt every two days until algae is gone but no more than 21 days. They claim no livestock or bacteria will be harmed and specifically target dinos. I took the plunge and tried it since all other attempts were proving futile.
I can say thus far it seems to be working. Dino growth is seriously hindered and and coral seem unaffected. I'll keep dosing until they're gone.

Look at my beautiful fish tank!
This is a major weapon against the rebel dinos. I decided to do a full 3 day blackout in conjunction with the Ultra Algae X. The two combined should eliminate them.
I left some spaces for oxidation but there is almost no ambient light penetrating.

So my 4 year old came up to my wife with his toy ambulance in tow. He said, "Mommy, the fish needed to go in the ambulance." So of course she opened the back hatch and laying on the stretcher was a dead dried out gold head goby. It was cute but very frustrating.
He was pretty dried out so the little guy must have carpet surfed last night out of the one little spot that I left uncovered for oxidation. Too bad, he was an awesome looking fish with a cool personality.
