One of the ways DR Ron has said to take care of them is.either 5-10 % water change daily (i forget which) for 7 days than a larger change at the end while sucking scraping them out. wait a week and do again if needed.
I did the weeks worth and saw little change.then chickened out to do it again.since i'm not a fan of big or weekly water changes anymore plus i did not know if something was coming in with the new water.

One of the ways i used my magnum 350 was to have it draw water from mid way in the tank and dump into a overflow.so the skimmer could get the dino's.I just ran carbon in the basket with no filters.found it to be pretty effective at catching them when free floating.

I wont say my little fight is over yet,but pretty darn close.I might try Rons way one more time and see if that delivers the one two punch that finishes it off.
