dino id

Have a couple of these little green looking bubble sacks on one of my rocks. They have a hard shell it feels like. Just wondering what they might be.

https://youtube.com/shorts/MHGivRhw3hw?feature=share Hi guys! Can anyone help me ID what dinos I'm dealing with? Based on the circular structure in the center of the cell and the symmetrical oval shape I'm guessing Prorocentrum. Also, is it possible that I have 2 kinds of dinos? Some of them...

Hello, I've went fallow on my tank for a couple months due to a velvet outbreak. During this time I started to get some GHA throughout the tank and it slowly turned into this webby reddish algae. I was thinking about getting some fish soon since the velvet is more than eradicated by now, but I...

So, no matter what I do, I keep having this reddish/brown coating come back again and again. The system itself has been up and running for 16 months, and I transferred it from a 60-gallon tank to a WaterBox Marine X 110.4 in August of this year. I've tried vacuuming the film off of the sand...

Background: Tank approx 8 months old Testing nitrates and phosphates every 2-3 days. Nitrates average between 7-5. Phosphate have always read zero. Using Hannah to test (not ULN just regular Phosphate). Attached pictures of what is growing all over my rocks. When disturbed it acts “dusty” and...

Hi everyone. I have had my 20g up and running for 6 months now and have recently encountered. Sorry for the poor photo quality but my microscope does not magnify much more while maintaining clarity. Please help identify the type of dino and what you guys have experienced in the best way to...

What’s up everyone, just have a quick question on what I got in the tank. Is it Cyano or Dinos? This tank has been up and running for 2 months and I have not had this algae but till about 2 weeks ago. I use an Ai Prime for the light mainly for my GSP. Just wondering what this is and what I can...

I have been dealing with algae on my sand bed for the past few months. The tank is now 8 months old and was set up with dry rock and live sand. I did have a bottom out of nutrients a few months back and feared it was Dino’s. I raised nitrate to 10 and phosphate to .1, added uv, dosed MB7, ran 5...

Hey everyone! I have a Innovative marine fusion pro 25 lagoon. It just finished cycling a couple weeks ago, i finally noticed some algae other then the ones i saw during the cycle start to appear. However, unfortunately it may be dinos. Can anyone help me id this to verify? From what i can...

hello and thanks in advanced. I have set a new tank up and it’s around 10 days old at this point. Over the last two days a huge coating of brown algae I believe to be diatoms has covered my rocks, sand and glass. however it is also covered in air bubbles which makes me think it’s not diatoms...

I am battling dinos currently and just wanted to ask. Is my answer as simple as I think? I am thinking all I have to do is dose phosphate to get rid of them. My current parameters are: Temp 74-75 Salt 1.025 Amonia 0 Nitrites 0 Nitrate 10 Phos 0 Cal 400 Mag 1340 Alk 8.0

I have been battling the dinos for awhile now I am 100 percent sure they are dinos I have done a lot of research but I cant seem to identify which type they are. They do not string out or slime up. They just stay on the sand bed. They clear up at night and come back just as strong the next day...

Which strain is this? 40x magnification. I looked at images of Ostreopsis and Prorocentrum on Google but they look similar to me. Thanks
