My Aquarium Showcase
So i over did a water change and got dinos- surprise surprise lol. Confirmed case of Ostreopsis via microscope (and a lot of it). Super fast growing- after 5 minutes blowing it off the rocks and substrate new bubbley tendrils were growing right back every time.
I got a $19 UV sterilizer on amazon and ran it right from my return. Rated for 10-40gallons. Suggested gph is 200 and im running it at probably 90gph- nice and slow. Installed it YESTERDAY! I do not see a single strand or bubble in this tank this morning!
Is it totally gone? Highly unlikely. But dang the results with this UV are looking promising! I’ll leave it on through the weekend and do another microscope sample on Monday to see if Im clear.
As of this morning:
