dino

Today i will be starting the process to stop the situation from the Dino’s I have been having I have already gotten 10 micron filter socks, spongexel, phyto and tisbe pods and seachem silacate test kit Looking at previous forums it’s saying 1 drop per gallon but reading the bottle from bright...

First time dealing with dino, have a hard time to id it, maybe someone else can ?

Can anyone help identify what is taking over my tank? I don’t have access to a microscope to check it accurately. Parameters: Salinity 1.026 Temp 78f Po4 0 (Hanna ulr) No3 0.25ppm (red sea pro) Alk 8.7 Cal 440 Mag 1340 I cannot get detectable nutrients (apart from some nitrates when I feed...

I finally bought a microscope in my losing battle against dinos. The UV filter slowed down the spread, but it isnt stopping them. Neither is dosing NO3 and PO4. My next attempt will be the Dr Tims chemical methods on the way in the mail. But a large portion of the stuff apparently isnt all...

I had a lot of hair algae at one time. I accidentally cleaned too much rock with peroxide and knocked off the biology. Dino's came out, did 3 blkouts over the fall. Eventually the stones became heavily overgrown with fluffy unknown shrubs over time as I started to regain the previous light...

Hello, Can Someone please Help me id these Dinos? Thank you very much :)

Hello, Can someone please Help me ID These Dinos ? Thank you very much :)

I had a brown/green algae problem a while back that was completely eradicated but now it’s coming back looking different - it has bubbles. I did increase light in the tank to help my corals regrow after the past algae bloom, since i dimmed the light for a few weeks to control the algae. My...

So I've been battling this battle for months now, I have had my tank for 7 months now, in the past I posted pictures of my tank and people told me that I had cyano. After a lights out phase and dosing peroxide, the cyano subsided, then came back. I tried mitigating but I just did manual removal...

Hi everyone! For the last month I’ve been battling with what I believe is Dino’s. They slowly seem to be disappearing and have only ever stayed on my rockwork, wavemakers and back panel of my Fluval flex tank. Ive changed the filter floss every other day which has helped massively and fed more...

Hi all, I have this brown stringy algae growing on my rocks and my sand. I’m having trouble determining if it’s just a brown stringy algae or dinos. As you can see it’s growing in and between corals, likely irritating them. I tested nutrients yesterday and Nitrates are 9 and phosphates are...

So I've been scouring the internet for answers, and found lots of pictures of people's tanks with seemingly the same problem, but everyone says it's something else. So I'm hoping I can post my specific situation and someone will know what's going on. So I've had diatoms, my rocks were golden...

I have a pocket microscope Carson 250x. I made a videos of one sample of hair algae on different background. Can anyone identify which dinos are in the video? It all started when I had the stupidity to clean too much stone in the aquarium from algae with peroxide and vinegar and upset the...

I have recently ordered one from amazon, can anyone else give additional feedback about it in reef hoby especially? I recently had a dino outbreak - it forced me to consider a cheap microscope to make things easier with exact specie identification and same future things

Hey guys, lately i battled against GHA pretty badly and got it over with, using fluconazole after a while. Now, Ive had this tank for well over a year, and of course as every tank, stuff that we’ve never seen before appears and it could be bad or good lol. Anyways I’ll be attaching photos of...

Strangest thing, my dino problems seem to more or less have vanished overnight, note entirely sure how. I've been having problems with dinos in my 25G reef, confirmed prorocentrum dinoflagellates. Both Nitrate and Phosphate readings have been 0, and it's been a struggle tying to bump up the...

What I thought were Diatoms turned out to be Dinos on most of substrate and tank walls. I bought a microscope to verify. Photos and video are attached. These were my parameters last night Before I dosed Phosphate per some research cause they were bottomed out. Temp 81 Salinity 1.026 Ca 340 KH 8...

Hey Guys, Just need a bit of help with identifying what I have. I'm leaning towards cyano but would like a second opinion.

Hey all, I’ve been facing some cyano recently, seems pretty persistent and grows on my sand and rock. I just finished a flux treatment, and it started to appear in the end of my week 3 of treatment. It doesn’t hold any oxygen bubbles like Dino’s seems to typically, just grows over sand and rock...

Hi all, I recently set up a new 30 gallon reef tank and am trying to figure out what to do. For some background, I have a 13.5 which I bought a rock that had 3 awesome nems on and placed it in my tank knowing the previous owner had dinos. This sparked the dinos in my 13.5 which I have recently...

I was reviewing the Dino Treatment article and the Are You Tired? thread by @mcarroll , and I noticed that many of the pics people were sharing did not have quite the mat structure I am seeing on my rocks. Right now I am waiting to see if anyone in my local group has a microscope and can help...

Hey everyone, have a quick question. I have been battling Dino’s for awhile now and they are the ones where they go into the sand bed at night. Been frustrating to say the least, I have gotten my Phosphates and Nitrates up but no results at all. My question is should I just get rid of the sand I...

Hi All - I have a pair of clownfish in a 105l tank. It is almost 4 months old now. Salinity - 1.025 [H2Ocean classic formula salt + RODI water] pH - 8 Ammonia - 0ppm (Salifert test kit) + Seachem ammonia alert Nitrite - 0ppm (Salifert test kit) Nitrate - 7.5ppm (Salifert test kit) I do 10 to...

Hello! I have this weird brown algae growing on some of my corals. It looks like it could either be dinos or brown hair algae but it only grows on a few of my corals plugs and only a couple spots on my rockwork. The tank is about 5 months old. I run a protein skimmer just did a 20% water change...

So rn im having a huge problem with hair algae and Dino it is everywhere. I ran hydrogen peroxide for a today and now was told just to take it all out and buy pods so i bought pods and now we’re waiting. Had to take out peroxide bc it was hurting my corals. Does anyone have any other ways in the...
