Dino? Id help needed Microscope Pics/video

[monfilsi]

Hi All,

Went away for 5 weeks on vacation and came back to a mess of tanks!

Tank is 3 years old, well established. Fought off LCA dinos about 6 months ago.

This single cell organism has a lot more chloroplasts and is about 1/4 the size of the LCA that I had before.

It doesn't have any amour from the way it easily changes it's body shape.

Here is a link to video:

I'll get my closed loop UV setup again to start the battle and dose some water glass to get the diatom population up.

Thanks in advance for the help in id!

That is the first place I looked before posting looking for help. Unfortunately it isn't one of the 5 in that doc.

Think it might be Euglena.

Will try to dose bacteria, and reduce lights for a few days to see if I can get it under control.

Thanks for confirming... now on to my research on how to deal with it. Got to be easier than dino. Fingers crossed.
