dinos

I'm currently battling what I thought was Dinoflagellates. @mcarroll has ID this for me as Chrysophytes. Here is a background on my tank and where I am now. My tank build thread https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/4-years-old-and-just-getting-started.302988/ Total water volume 160 gal. I...

Well i have spent the past 2 hr reading up even more on Dino's and seem to be deadlocked. I have seen more pictures than i can count and read more descriptions of this nasty stuff than i wanted to. I am 100% positive i have dinoflagellates. I am out of town on a business trip so pictures to come...

I use Coral RX for my coral dip and I don't see anything mentioned on the label about it killing dino's. I have a bunch of nice coral in one of my tanks but there are toxic dino's (diagnosed with a microscope) that are slowly killing everything. I'd like to move some of the coral into another...

Still battling Dinos (Ostreopsis) Need help before my 150g SPS only tank is dead! I AM battling Osteopsis. I have my own microscopes and have confirmed on a previous thread that I have Ostropsis. I have a collection of really nice large SPS colonies in a 150g tank. I have been fighting...

I have been fighting what I believe to be Dinos and have been in and out of my tank for over a year. I have attached some pics I took today through my microscope of the organic. It doesn't appear to be moving. They appear rapidly, hang all over my SPS and accumulate or create bubbles. They...

I don't know what percentage of folks had luck battling dinos with any of the methods in the old Dino thread but it's obviously a very low percentage, so I'd like refresh folks on the natural alternatives and lay out three areas of info: some of the factors that contribute to a dino outbreak...

This build has been living since October, tank is stocked and has SPS and blah blah. Might as well start the story from the beginning though.. _______________________________________________________ Finally got all the equipment gathered and am starting to build the tank The tank is a modest...

Help, what is this? At first we thought it was either dinoflagellates or diatoms (I do don't have a microscope) as it has a mucilaginous base and thread like appendages. But there are no bubble formations on the ends. And it does not behave as such according to what I have read. It is growing...

Need help... My 72g tank has had dinos from vinegar dosing and I plan to restart in a new tank (never carbon dosing again!) and I was wondering how i can move my fish over without moving the dinos over to the new tank!? Any help would be appreciated! thank you!

Hello. I am in desperate need of guidance. I am currently on day 7 of using Dino X (so have applied 3 doses so far) and wake up to find that the dinoflagellates have actually increased significantly after each use. Prior to the dosing the dinos had basically stayed at the sames levels for four...
