Dinos under microscope?

[kwalber]

Well I think I royally messed things up. Have a bunch of coral coming tomorrow and thought I had cyano, so I did chemiclean treatment. Now under the microscope, pretty confident I have an insane amount of Dino's. Please confirm and then I think I need to go lights out, water change out the chemiclean and put the uv back on. Thoughts?

Please help, thank you

All tanks have dinoflagellates just keep up on maintenance and manual removal. I would do a WC to remove the Chemiclean and then throw it in the garbage never to be used again. Keep your system healthy with maintenance and cleaning, not chemicals. Your corals will be fine, no lights out or other crazy stuff.

Personally I’d do a wc before the new corals come and vacuum the sand bed. As mentioned before stay on top of maintenance and it’ll correct its self
