I hope this helps anyone else that may get this problem.

I run an Aqua 40W uv, and was before the problem began, and continue to run it, 24/7.
I now have TWO TLF phosban reactors, filled with carbon. (only had one before)
I have reduced my photoperiod to 6 hours a day.
Changed out my ro/di filters
replaced my junkie already burnt out 54w T-5 actinics
And now,... I am happy to say.. am seeing a drastic reduction in the Dyno. It is almost gone. I need to update with some more pics, .. I intended to do a day by day pic, but time did not permit it. Once the Dyno is completly gone, I have plans to drastically increase my cleanup crew. I should also note I purchased an orange face sleeper goby to turn over the sand. This really seems to be helping. Thanks again for the replies!
