ostreopsis

Hi guys, I am battling dinos, and i am wondering if 11w UV would be enough for my 125L / 33g cube (excluding rocks sand etc) I read online about 1W per 3 gallons, so its borderline...

I upgraded to a larger tank and I’m currently going through the classic “ugly phase.” I transferred some live rock with zoas and other corals, added new dry rock, and recently installed an Apex system. Over the last few weeks I noticed GHA and scrubbed most of it off, but now I’ve confirmed I’m...

So as it says a fungi that kills ostreopsis. Maybe in the future it could be cultured and utilized as a natural defense against this horrible Dinoflagellate. I wonder how it would affect coral? Any thoughts? https://scitechdaily.com/newly-discovered-marine-fungus-attacks-and-kills-toxic-algae/

Hi all, Looking for help or insight I’ve been battling dinoflagellates in my reef tank for nearly a year, and I’m at my wit’s end. Hoping someone here has dealt with a similar case and can offer advice or spot something I’m missing. Tank Info: (I tested my levels before writing this post) 75...

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...

Let me introduce myself, my name is Paulo Scaldaferri, a Brazilian reefer who have been dealing with dinos as a special area of interest: I had it on my own tanks many times before and sometimes for months. This led me to an avid interest of study of those alveolates, including reading many...

I was thinking about something a little different here, we surelly do not have a simple solution that works for all dinos, unfortunatelly, but for a long time we started to understand what are great conditions that predict dino problems in the future. So this list is kind of a joke (many items...

Are these Dinos? If so what kind are they? What is the best course of action to eradicate them? Thank you.

Hey all! I am currently battling Ostreopsis dinos that seem resistant to UV. Ive beat them in the past in this same tank with this same UV but this time around the difference is that I am dosing all for reef. I know in the wild that dinos feed off of free iron and that AFR has iron in it and...

I don't know what percentage of folks had luck battling dinos with any of the methods in the old Dino thread but it's obviously a very low percentage, so I'd like refresh folks on the natural alternatives and lay out three areas of info: some of the factors that contribute to a dino outbreak...
