Hi all, have dinos. Does anyone know what type these are and the b st way to get rid of them. Have started a 3 day blackout tonight, used dr Tim’s eco balance sat, doing week microbacter this week, installing 25w Aqua uv tomorrow (100g Red Sea tank). Nitrates at 4.6, phos at 0.02, salinity 35, alk 8, mag 1285, cal 430, temp 35c. Running Red Sea skimmer and reef mat. Any hep please in identifying these Dino’s and what else I can do to get rid of them?

Hi Dan, How do you know if they are the the large or small cell ones. They did move around fast under the microscope so is it correct am assuming small.
How else can you identify the difference. Thanks, Geoff

This is Coolia. If it's movement is similar, you probably aren't going to beat it. I tried for over 2 years.

Sorry, I can’t answer that one. Maybe a Google search would help.
