Fauna Marin Dino X – Professional Dinoflagellate & Algae Treatment

Fauna Marin Dino X is a high-potency, targeted solution designed to eliminate the most stubborn pests in marine reef aquariums, specifically dinoflagellates and various forms of plague algae (Hair, Bubble, and Bryopsis). Unlike generic algaecides, Dino X is formulated to work without destabilizing the delicate bacterial balance of a reef tank. It functions by interrupting the metabolic processes of these invasive organisms, causing them to die off over a multi-dose cycle. It is a critical tool for reef keepers facing "tank-ending" outbreaks where biological competition alone has failed.

Targeted Elimination & Coral Safety

Dino X provides a science-based approach to reclaiming a tank from aggressive algal takeovers.

Broad Spectrum Algaecide: Effectively combats dinoflagellates, Bryopsis, and "hairy" algae outbreaks that are often resistant to other treatments.
Coral Safe Formulation: When used strictly as directed, the treatment is safe for stony corals (SPS/LPS) and soft corals, preserving the integrity of your reef.
Inhibits Recurrence: Not only does it kill existing cells, but it also alters the environment to discourage the rapid return of dormant algae spores.
High-Purity Ingredients: Manufactured under laboratory standards to ensure no heavy metals or unwanted impurities are introduced to the water column.
Successor Formula: Representing the latest evolution in Fauna Marin's "X-Series," offering improved stability and effectiveness over older formulations.

FAQ Section: Common Questions

Is this safe for invertebrates?

While generally safe for corals and fish, echinoderms (sea urchins, starfish), sea hares, and giant clams can be sensitive. It is highly recommended to temporarily relocate these inhabitants to a separate system during the treatment period.
Does Dino X treat Cyanobacteria?

No. Dino X is specifically for dinoflagellates and algae. For Red Slime (Cyanobacteria), you should use Fauna Marin Red X.
What should I do after the treatment is finished?

One week after your final dose, perform a significant water change and begin running high-quality activated carbon, such as Fauna Marin Carb L, to remove any residual treatment and toxins released by dying algae.
Why dose at night?

Dosing after lights-out ensures that the symbiotic zooxanthellae in your corals have stopped photosynthesis, allowing Dino X to target the invasive algae more effectively without stressing the coral's energy production.
