Dino ID confirmation please

Are these Ostreopsis? Also best course of action please.

Gallonage determines best course not ID

How big is the tank

Gallonage determines how easy it is to clean the system in a special way which will beat dinos better than any other method logged in the forum

Large tanks must use the extended methods which only work about 10% of the time and take months of wait per the huge dinos thread

Smaller tanks can be fixed in 48 hours, that's how much impact gallonage has

This is Procentrum and i.d. is important as these are less common but colonize quickly.
Its biological deficiencies that are causing the dino structure and tank is already doomed.
No light is first key followed by the addition of bacteria to overcome the bad bacteria allowing them to thrive
Prepare by starting by blowing this stuff loose with a turkey baster and siphon up loose particles. Turn lights off (at least white and run blue at 10-15% IF you have light dependant corals) for 5 days and at night dose 1ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 10 gallons for all 5 nights. If you dont have light dependent coral- turn all lights off. During the day dose 1ml of liquid bacteria (such as micro bacter 7 or XLM) per 10 gallons. Clean filters daily and DO NOT FEED CORAL FOODS OR ADD NOPOX
You can feed fish as normal and if doing blackout, ambient light in room will work for them

I already have Dr tims waste away and refresh, will they work?

They'll help

those additives won't fix it or they'd be using them in the big sticky threads up top

try and see if you can find anything beating this method:

Soo, here we are with something new. Goodbye to the Blue Marine 60 and hello to the Blue Marine Reef 90 with 24 gallon . That's a 50 percent increase! Latest FTS (2023-03-20). After the sand bed rinsing (2023-02-26) Older Inhabitants: - NEW! Two Azure Damselfish - Six line wrasse - Halloween he...

how happy is that reefer now
that's a very recent correction job we just did


nanos don't have to follow the rules that large tanks have to follow

scan the stickied links at the top of this forum for dinos

do you see any 1 day after pics like that/they use large tank methods. I have thirty more examples of the above job if needed, that's just to show a recent one.

it took 1 day to fix. don't entertain dinos in your display

the key to battling dino in a nano is you never leave any visible mass in the tank when you begin the battle.

the masses have you do opposite: kill the mass inside the system, rot it into the sand in addition to current sandbed waste fueling the matter, then the combined rotting compounds leads you to green hair algae and cyano for the next several weeks. see any of the big dinos threads up top stickied to check those invasion circles.

contrast what you see above + the timeframes people have been working on the systems to what that link shows in 24 hours. The aquarist is going to update his tank for months now for long term tracking, we have long term tracking off the other 30 examples in addition. we have been doing this for years.

hey can you post a pic of your tank so we can see how it presents
