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?
Mind the dirty tank, I’m fighting Dinos, but I have been waiting months for a pair of these Watanabei Angels. I ended up with two females and hoping the dominant one will change to male 🤞
I feel like I am coming out the other side of of double Dino's (Ostreopsis and prorocentrum). Took about 2 weeks (luckily). Small UV for Ostreopsis. Silicate dosing for Protocentrum. Plus dosing neophos and neo nitro with micro after 7, copepods and live phyto.
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,
Dino battle moving into week 7, very frustrating. Not sure I am going to win.

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?
Got dinos. Anyone know what kind of dinos?
Does anyone know if turning down white light, and turning up blue light reduces Dino’s?

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
