The other day I posted here reaching out for some help:


Today I tried to get a sample to look at under the microscope. Good news and bad news. After just one day of blackout and one night of peroxide the suspected dinos were so reduced I couldn’t find a good sample to take out of the tank. I collected some more general crud after blowing some stuff loose and this is the only Dino-like cells I could find. Based on examples I’m thinking ostreo. It was definitely toxic because it quickly killed the Birdsnest that some got stuck on.

Also found this. Not dinos but curious as to what it is. Anyone know what these guys are? It’s only 100x magnification so they
are relatively big.
