Hey everyone! First post on here and I'm looking for some help on Id-ing and combating Dinoflagellates. I'm unsure because although it looks like Dinos, they don't have the air bubble which is on all the pictures I'm seeing of other people's dino problems. It's mostly growing on rocks, not much on sandbed.
My tank is around 3 months old including 5 week cycling, and I currently don't have any corals because I've been busy combating annoying pests like byrposis(completely gone, got from original live rock) and red slime(almost completely gone).
Im thinking of doing a 3 day blackout, wont really hurt anything since I'm coralless, and doing a dose of 2ml of food safe hydrogen peroxide for a few days.
I would appreciate any and all help you can give, including how to take better pictures of what's in my tank, especially small stuff like this.
