Hello,

Have dinos and just took them under a microscope. They disappear at night and are on the rockwork as well, although mainly on the sand.

I believe they are amphidinium but would like some second opinions thanks.

Definitely Amphidinium Dino’s silicate dosing to get a diatom bloom is what has helped me beat them back. Keep nitrates up around 10ppm and PO4 around .1 will also help.

Thanks that was going to be my next approach. They originally started because of 0 nitrate and PO4.

They have been slowly fading over the past week upping the temp to 81, keeping nitrate at 15-20 and PO4 around 0.15, dosing H2O2 and MicroBacter7
Audio jumpscared me lol
Haha sorry i'll add a disclaimer there's audio!
