Good afternoon. I’ve been dealing with dinos for a few months. Trying every suggestion I’ve found on here. Higher temp, increased nutrients, bacteria, silica, etc. A few weeks ago, all I could see under the scope was dinos. Today I have tons of these new guys.

Any ideas on what these are? Good/bad. Thanks.

Awesome. Thank you. A few weeks ago, I had zero diatoms and thick dinos. I guess the things I’m doing are working. Now I just need these diatoms to out compete. Thanks again.
