Have some brown spots going on my power heads. I didn’t see any dinos(that I’m aware of) but lots of movement for sure going on.

Thanks!

That is Dino’s. Which one not sure but as fast as they are move probably Small Cell Amphidinium. To be sure a must closer look under microscope will be needed. I battled them for 2.5 months and beat them with waterglass (silicates) dosing pods, and keeping NO3 at 20 and PO4 at .2 they are a pain and do not go into the water column like other Dino’s do.

They don’t really move like the SCA videos I’ve seen. Here is higher mag
