I think dinos too. Are these moving? Lets get someone who knows @taricha
OK. Dinos then. Looks like lots of cyano too. Hopefully an expert will chime in, but I’m thinking amphidinium also. I know nothing about the method you are using. I would make sure measurable nitrates and phosphates are in the tank. I would also run GAC for toxin control, although it looked like corals were ok.Yes they are moving
Then it's Dinos and it's not that hard to beat, but will be a lot of work with many hours involved the first week of the fight. I just fought this battle and have won. What I did worked for me.Air bubbles are only on the rocks. Never on the sand
Sucked out the dinos and top layer of sand in half the tank. Other half being done tonight. New UV bulb should be here tomorrow
I alternated between the two, thinking that they contain different bacteria and so improve chances of supporting ones that will outcompete the dino. Not sure if there are any counterindications in product directions.I just completed the Dr tims refresh/waste away regiment. Should i keep adding waste away? Switch to Microbacter 7? Alternate between the two?
Prorocentrum, See below.Im hoping @taricha or someone will chime in so i can figure out which kind im dealing with
These are prorocentrum. They have nearly same shape as amphidinium, but prorocentrum are armored dinos. They possess a shell called a theca.
Thanks for the explanation. That’s awesome!Prorocentrum, See below.

If you look at the bottom of the photo, what looks like a clear dino cell - that's actually a shed theca. Every time an armored dino multiplies into two cells, it sheds the outer armor.
