[Acros]

Dino has covered every single surface in my tank. Today I got some microscope pics.

Here is a video.

actually looks like multiple types of prorocentrum.

So no UV, but just try dosing silica to induce a diatom bloom?

Update: I have successfully killed the dino outbreak.

Type: Prorocentrum

Things that worked:

• overdose silicates by a factor of 4x. Dinos gone in less than 2 weeks.

Things that did not work:

• UV
• Lights out
• Manual removal
• Nutrient dosing
• Increasing temp to 83f
