Dinoflagellates - Stringy Algea Everyone Keeps Asking About

bkv1997 · May 25, 2009

There has been alot of people in the local club asking me about Dino lately. I've suggested raising the PH to many of you, but I still keep getting alot of questions. I've linked what I find to be a very good article on this below.

Hopefully this will help.
