I do all that you describe and more and i have dinos over a year now - i think the answer is a kalk reactor with a dosing pump to add kalk 24/7 when toping off our tanks -no one i know have Dinos ,when they use a good Kalk reactor and running it 24/7 and keeping the ph up to over 8.3 .
That is a good idea for a new poll.
I believe it helps,i use a camping cooler for a holder and just fill the bottom with kalk and gavity feed.simple and cheap.(red slime in my sump died after adding kalk)
My thougts are also that when using GFO you can pass the balance that lets the dinos get a foot hold.I know since pulling the GFO my tank has never look better,theres more micro algea growth for the fish feed on and most important the dinos are almost gone.I will still use it but not 24-7.
If making a poll you might add if GFO has also been used long term before hand.
