These are what we have and have just started to increase temperature so will report back https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/amphidinium-dinoflagellate-treatment-methods.365850/post-7131557

This is very cool!
The cells focused on in that video are ciliates, though they might have some dinos in their stomach.
These are prorocentrum, actually. (They are about ~5 times the size of the amphidinium cells in the first two pics of that image in post #957.)
Are you saying yours went away with elevating temp? They are probably trickier than amphidinium.
First, I’d have to grow some!Taricha i think you should run tests increase temp and let us know what happens
Keep us posted. Ive slowly raised my temp. Im sitting at 82.5-83.0 as of this morning. Going to hold it here and see what happens.After running the tank at 82.5 for a week and half and seeing all the Dino's vaporize, I've reduced my temp down to 80.5 out of curiousity to see if Dino's stay gone or creep back. So far so good. I may then leave that as my new normal temperature, rather than 78 degrees.

I looked through some of your posts and didn't see any microscope pics of the dinos. Do you have any?After running the tank at 82.5 for a week and half and seeing all the Dino's vaporize, I've reduced my temp down to 80.5 out of curiousity to see if Dino's stay gone or creep back

CHALK ANOTHER ONE UP FOR THE TEMPERATURE METHOD!
yep!@taricha
do you think these are Prorocentrum?
Update on my results using the increased temp method. I began increasing the temp gradually 4 days ago, to where I am now holding between 82 and 83. I cannot tell much regression related to the Dinos, but maybe. However, I do have a pretty good amount of Cyano that has popped up. I am going to siphon the sand through a 5 micron filter sock later today and will treat the Cyano with Chemi-Clean, unless someone thinks otherwise.
