Can Dinoflagellates transfer to new tank?

[jmichaelh7]

I've been in week 2 so far with elevated Nitrate at 20ppm. Phosphate 0.13

I've added 50 cleanup crew members, Mexican turbo snails etc.

So far the Dino has remained the same. I've also reduced the skimmer to being on all day to about 8 hours.

I suppose i will run out this jug of microbacter 7 (20ml daily, and phytofeast 5ml daily).


My question is...

If i start a new tank, which i plan on getting a 180 gallon system. If i was to transfer all live rock, will Dinoflagallettes attach to rock and become in new tank?

Thank you reefers!

They can but if you blow rock well with a turkey baster and agitate the loose particles and then transfer under low to no light, you may not have any ill effects.
