*update* unending algae! with pics now...any ideas?

I've fought dinos in the past. Not much will eat it, its toxic. Amphipods are about its only thing that will and you'll need a few million to chomp down on it. As Richard said, is to keep the pH up with Kalk and buffer. Dino is very sensitive to high pH (above 8.5).

ok so pete (ping) came over and took a look at my tank which i really appriciate (thanks again pete), so he assured me that i dont have dino just a bad case of hair algea with cyano layering it like icing on a cake...on a plus side things seem to be getting normalized in regards to the algea which seems to be receeding...yaaah....we attribute this to the new skimmer which is working full steam producing some nasty skimmate...so now my zoas are actually opening up and most of the softies are engorging...so go figure my problem was an under powered skimmer (sea clone on a 125g)....will up date more as things change....thanks to everyone for their input...

Uh Yea.... A sea clone on a 125 would be your problem. I was just barely able to keep things under control on a 50 gal. with a sea clone.
