Hello, A few months ago I found out that I have poisonous dinoflagellates. Every morning and night (when the lights came on and off) a lot of corals suddenly closed. And by closed I mean completely withdrawn. In the evening, corals closed faster and further than normal. After a few minutes they opened again... Eventually even Sps corals got stn/rtn. I didn't have any brown deposits anywhere on the gravel or stone... Icp test showed that silicate was very high, while that should cause a diatom rash... And it is actually good against dinos. I didn't know I had dinos at the time. Then I read something about poisonous dinos and increased the temperature + added bacteria. Set the temperature to 27.5 degrees Celsius for 1 whole week. It seemed to work, I saw corals open nicely again, etc. Now a month later, 3 corals are starting to show signs of dinosaurs again.
1 stylopora starts here and there stn
2 hairy mushrooms are getting smaller and smaller, while other mushrooms are open
3 birds nest also here and there
Some corals are also starting close faster at night.
Sometimes a pocciliopora has a very small amount of stn. Water quality is very stable with a kh keeper and testing with salifert every week. I still dose bacteria per week. Do any of you know what I can do? In my country it is really cold nowadays so I can't raise temperature this time.
