I’ve been battling dinos and algae for some time. Finally got a microscope. Hopefully the image quality is good enough for a solid ID. I understand there are different ways to handle Dino species. Thanks in advance. IMG_3742.jpeg IMG_3736.png IMG_3741.jpeg IMG_3737.png

I believe this to be true based on all my recent research lol. I had to buy a scope and do all the reading as I am battling LCA.
I’ve had Prorocentrum for a long time and LCA for the last year. I think I might be done with them now but you never know.

Since these are likely Prorocentrum (signature dot in the centre and round)., I would definitely look into getting the UV sweeper from 3D reefing. Ive been struggling with large cell amphedinium for over a year. After 3 days, Dinos are 80% gone/died off. There are plenty of threads on here showing the results and directions on how to use it, along with bacteria dosing such as Microbe Lift Special Blend.
