HELP WHIT DINOS!!!

[Rickglezs]

HI, MY NAME IS RICARDO AND I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH DINOS, I THINK THEY ARE AMPHIDINIUM BUT I NEED YOUR TIPS AND YOUR HELP TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE THEM FROM MY TANK.

BUT BEFORE I GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF MY TANK: IT IS A TANK OF 25 GALLONS, EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE IN THIS TANK (SAND, ROCK, WATER 50% AND NEW WATER 50%) PASS FROM MY OTHER TANK THAT IS 125 GALLONS, BUT I SAW THAT I START THE ALGAE AND I THINK THAT THE TANK BEGAN TO CYCLING, BUT WITH THE TIME THE SEAWEEDS WERE NOT FINISHED IF THEY GROWN MORE, THIS TANK OF 25 GALLONS DID IT ON FEBRUARY 7 AND ONLY I HAVE MADE A CHANGE OF WATER OF 50% FOR THE HIGH NITRATES THAT HAD

MY DATA CURRENTLY ARE:
NITRATES 25 PPM
PHOSPHATES 0.1 PPM
CA 400
MG 1140
KH 10.9
ALL WITH SALIFERT TEST

MY EQUIPMENT IS A SKIMMER RED DEVIL 150, CORAL BOX QP-5 WAVEMAKER AND RADION G2 LAMP

I can't help much but I can tell you that your magnesium is low, someone on here should be able to give you some good advice

Why do you think amphidinium? The tank looks good. I would buy a cheap microscope and take a look. It’s about $10.

BECAUSE I ALREADY SEE IT IN MICROSCOPE, I WANT TO UPLOAD A VIDEO BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW HAHA

YES, IT IS BUT IT'S LOW BECAUSE I DON'T MAKE WATER CHANGES, BECAUSE I THINK THE TANK IS CYCLING

 

[Rickglezs]

OK I CNA'T UPLOAD VIDEOS SO HERE ARE SCREENSHOTS FROM THEM

 

[dwest]

All I know is it’s not ostreopsis. Hopefully someone can help ID @taricha are you around?

 

[taricha]

Yep, this is large cell amphidinium, as the OP suggested.

 

[Mjrenz]

YES, IT IS BUT IT'S LOW BECAUSE I DON'T MAKE WATER CHANGES, BECAUSE I THINK THE TANK IS CYCLING

I don't want to give partial advice and detract from the people that know what they're talking about but since you have corals in there I believe you should make sure they have what they need to survive

Ricardo, I would take a look at the thread below. I removed my sand to make the largest dent in my amphidinium. However, I suggest you try silica dosing first as discussed in the thread. Good luck.

Yes I know, I had all my corals in the other tank but now I can't return them because the big tank doesn't have dinos so I have to thread this and fix it, I still have other corals in the big one but unfortunately I change almost to this little one

This would be my 2 cents as an avid YouTube watcher and sophomore reefer: I've never done a "coral in cycle" but I would suggest you do a water change to lower your nitrates for now and also test for ammonia and nitrites to see if your tank is actually cycling. You may want to dose magnesium as well to bring it up closer to 1400 but I wouldn't change the parameters too quickly and stress your corals. If your nitrites and ammonia is 0 I would say it's cycled and you don't need to worry about that part but you need to at least get your water parameters up to the point where the corals can live happily. I still can't offer any advice on the dinos and if anyone disagrees with me please speak up

Ammonia and nitrites are actually at 0 ppm I suppose that the cycle are or was in the final part

That's good, work on slowly getting your parameters in line to keep your corals healthy
