Found a small dime size patch of gha on the back glass inside my fuge chamber. Ive been searching for Dinos and believe I have hit the jackpot. What am I looking at?

If they are amphidinium. What's the treatment? Nitrates are at 5ppm
Phosphates over .151ppm

From my research, I do think I can see some amphidinium in the mix there. No idea what the fast moving things are.

If you don’t have an outbreak of them, I wouldn’t worry. Dinos are present in every red tank, to my understanding. It’s only an issue when the conditions are right for them to put compete other organisms and algae and take over (like what I’m currently dealing with :(
