First timer with this and just got my scope today so sorry for the shaky quality.
They dont seem too terrible at the moment but would like to knock them out before it becomes a bigger issue.
Thanks in advance!

Dinos, but I don't know which type. Check out Mack's reef...Dinoflagellates support group on FaceBook. You can post the pics and someone will quickly tell you which species and how to fight them.

A video also helps. Different types swim differently. What scope did you get? I just got mine and I love it. I may never put my hand in the tank again. There is some very creepy stuff in there.

alk is low. 8.2dkh to 9.2dkh better. you may need to raise NO3 to 16ppm. this worked for me. also check magnesium 1st should be around 1400ppm. I used a sodium nitrates sol. to raise my nitrates. good luck
