Hey peeps. Can any with experience confirm dinoflagellates in my tank. I used a cheap microscope. Couldn’t take a steady pic. The strand appears to have bubbles.
the back story. I had a slight case of bryopsis, my phos were low and nitrates are never detectable.. I dosed a minimal dose of flucanzol. Turned skimmer off for a couple of days. Perhaps the die off of the bryopsis increases nutrients. I skimmed wet and done WC weekly. 2 weeks later I decided to give waste-away a try. Bryopsis seemed to be receding. dosed a cap full of eco-balance just Incase too much good bacteria exported. Weeks later I’m trying to get my nitrates to detectable with neo-nitro because I read bryopsis present on low nutrient tanks. Only slowly dosed for 3 day But decided to stop before something more bad arises. I’ve been noticing the “Dino” since then. Phosphates are now barely detectable, probably from waste-away. My nitrates are always zero. Tank is 7 months. 40b
I have Dino-x but haven’t used it yet.
