Algae ID, microscope pictures

[._Z_.]

Just looking for second opinions to sanity check me. I believe what I have is dinoflagellates and cyano mixed up.

Plus sharing microscope pics is fun right? These are shot at 100x and 400x

Definity Dinos and cyano. Up the phosphate and nitrate levels and check out the Dino threads. Once I got serious about maintaining the right elevated levels of nutrients it took about 8 weeks to clear up. I also added a UV sterilizer in my sump but I think the nutrient levels are the key.

Good luck and hopefully it will be a quick turn around.

Thanks, friend!
