Does anyone have an idea how to get rid of Dinoflagellates? They keep coming back. I’ve started dosing Dino X, but it’s affecting my water quality—my pH just keeps dropping.
Need some help.. my tank has been completely overrun by algae.. not sure what I need to do. My fish seem fine, but the tank looks atrocious. Any tips on what I need to do? I can’t tell if this is cyano or dino’s.. ordered a microscope to try and identify what this is to take the appropriate steps. Any tips?
I bought a kid’s microscope to help identify the type of algae I have in my aquarium. I’m not sure if it’s diatoms or dinoflagellates. The microscope claims to go up to 1200x magnification, but I’m not sure how accurate that is.
Do you think it would be effective for identifying the algae?
Advice? I’ve been battling what I’ve assumed to be dinoflagellates up until this point for a few weeks. I’ve had them once before but those looked and acted different than what I have now. And those easier to deal with. I just assumed this was a different strand. I should have taken a picture but I’ll add one tonight. I’m starting to think I have something else. They are brown, stringy and clumpy and long/wavy in the waves. But the weird part is that they don’t really have many bubbles and they are ONLY on my rocks. They won’t touch the substrate. I’ve done a 3 day total blackout three times. They look gone or near gone then in about two days come right back. They multiply very fast. They are soft and scrub right off the rocks. Thoughts?
Anyone know what this algae might be? About 5 months old post cycle 20 gallon tank. Had ostreopsis dinoflagettes in my tank (using a microscope from my friend), and was wondering is this is either hair algae or a new form of dinos. Nitrates at 5ppm, Alk 7.3, Phos 0.06, Salinity 1.026,
Got dinos. Anyone know what kind of dinos?

Can anyone ID what type of dinoflagellates I have? I managed some good video.
Is this Dino or algae? Especially these brown strings coming off the brown spots
Hello reefers. This is my first tank and I seem to be having a problem with hair algae or Dino’s. Does anyone have suggestions?
Does anyone know if turning down white light, and turning up blue light reduces Dino’s?
Diatoms or Dinos?

Is this dinoflagellates?
I’ve searched online on what steps to take but I want to hear from you folks here. Note: My water change is set for Friday ( weekly ) 25%.
Thank you in advance.
