Ostreopsis dinos
These usually respond well to UV sterilizers

Thanks. I am running a 15W Aqua UV which may be why they’re not completely overwhelming my display (75g). I just wonder if I need to running a more powerful UV.

A 25w UV sterilizer would be better coverage for a 75g tank. I was running a 50w on my 75g tank and that was probably a bit of overkill...but it did kill off the ostreopsis dinos in a matter of days.

Update. Had to go out of town for work this week. Ran my lights low (20% only blue channels) and ran UV 24/7. When I returned, no visible signs of Dinos. Gonna slowly ramp lighting back up. Also adding more pods.
Also finally got my Phosphate checker. Current levels are 0.05ppm
