DINO X is a very strong and effective solution which removes any hairy or plague type algae growth and dinoflagellates in Reef Tanks. It treats algae outbreaks in reef aquariums without harming any corals.


  • Treats heavy algae outbreaks: Hair, Bubble, Bryopsis, Dino's, etc.
  • Reef Safe & does not harm corals
  • Does not destabilize the aquarium system
  • DINO X is not a treatment for Cyanobacteria

Manufacturer's Recommended Dosing:


  • 5 ml Dino X per 100 L (26 gal) of aquarium water.
  • To prevent overdose, it is very important to calculate the exact volume of aquarium water.
  • For heavy infestations and outbreaks, up to 6ml Dino X per 100 L (26 gal) can be dosed.
  • A high performance skimmer is recommended.
  • Dosage should be repeated every 2 days until algae is completely eliminated.
  • A general treatment period cannot be given due to many variables.
  • Dinoflagellates can usually be treated with 10 doses.
  • Other algae can be treated with about 15 doses.
  • Do not perform water changes during treatment period. Resume water change schedule after 1 week from final Dino X dose.
  • Do not dose any trace elements during treatment period. Do not dose any mineral salts, amino acids, SPS food, or Balling Light Trace B Elements.
  • Do not use ozone or carbon during treatment period.
  • Discontinue any kind of absorbing media such as GFO and PO4 removers.
  • Run a quality activated carbon after treatment period to remove residual chemicals; follow recommended dosing instruction.

DO NOT OVERDOSE - measure total system water volume as exactly as possible, accounting for water displacement from rocks, sand, etc.


Notes & Recommendations:


  • Dino X is NOT a treatment for cyano bacteria.
  • When used correctly, Dino X is harmless to inverts and fish.
  • Dino X should always be dosed in the evening or 1 hour AFTER main lighting has shut off.
  • Photosynthesis of Zooanthellae algae is discontinued, ultimately allowing for optimal effect of Dino X. Main lighting phase should be no longer than 6 hours daily.
  • Set skimmer to skim wet and run 24/7.
  • Water parameters can be adjusted with Balling Light or lime water. These do not affect Dino X performance.
  • Pre-mixed Ca, Alk, Mg, solutions should be used with caution as these often contain additional trace elements.
