Not sure if I loaded it in the slide correctly. Hopefully I did. First time using a microscopethis is ostreopsis. Some of the cells are smushed and the contrast in the image is weird.
And it was plenty good to ID the dino. Great job for a first shot.Not sure if I loaded it in the slide correctly. Hopefully I did. First time using a microscope

and after going back and looking at another sample a lot of them are turning in a small circle which definitely looks like ostreopsis. Only thing is they do not completely disappear at night. Could it be a mixture of different types? And I have a 57 watt aquaUV running around 1500 gph. Should I slow that down to less than 1000? It’s a 180 with a 40 breeder sump.And it was plenty good to ID the dino. Great job for a first shot.
I was just explaining why the cells appear different than that pipe normally does in pictures posted here.
Thank you. I have my uv set wayyy to high gph. I’m going to have to dial it back or get a second one temporarily. I’m slowly going bare bottom so I’m sucking sand out along with the dinos. Hoping that will help.If it's not a type of dino that goes into the water column at night the UV sterilizer won't help. I have my UV at about 700 gph and it killed off all ostreopsis but not the dinos in the sand.

Thank you. I’ve dosed myself up to no3 8ppm and .08 po4 it goes up and down a little with water changes. I just ordered phyto and brightwells sponge excel so I’m hoping this will all get the job done.For dino's in sand ive always heard to keep no3 at 5 ppm and po4 at .o5 than dose with silicate, and phyto. Essentially ur causing a diatom bloom that would out compete the dinoflagellates for nutrients.
