Dinos ?

[samuel venner]

I have just purchased a microscope after believing that my diatom outbreak looked slightly different than usual with bubbles in them.

the photos are below and some microscopic photos

what do we think ?

Looks like amphidium Dino’s
You want to siphon this up and clean filters daily for next 7 days. Empty skimmer cup daily also.
Add 1ml of liquid bacteria per 10 gallons daily and 1.5 ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 10 gallons at night- both for 5 days and turn lights off for 5 days. If you have coral, run blue only at 10%

Someone else has mentioned they could be ostreopsis ?

Some of the oval shaped may very well be. The formula I gave will deal with that too

@samuel venner I am not an expert by any means, so I just looked at the photos and the guide. Based on shape and the fact that it makes bubbles it looks like Ostreopsis or Prorocentrum. Read the descriptions and see what looks most likely. It doesn't look like it makes the snotty, bubbly strands typical of Ostreopsis though. Either way, what Vetteguy said is the way to go. If you have a UV filter filter put that on or for a small tank could buy a Green Killing Machine. You will use it again in the future, so might be worth purchasing anyway.

Ok. Don't wait to start treating them.

I’m going to try to just identify what they are first. I don’t want to use my Dino x if it’s going to mass kill the most poisonous dinos I don’t want that in the water. I’d need to have carbon to pull the poison out. Which I can’t use with dinox

what do you think ?

@Fauna Marin what do you think ??
