While I don’t know much about dinoflagellates, I definitely see a resemblance to ostreopsis.

any idea if this is ostreopsis?

If it’s Dino,
Prepare for a water change and blow this stuff loose with a turkey baster and siphon up loose particles.
Turn lights off for 5 days and st night dose 1ml of hydrogen peroxide per 10 gallons for all 5 nights
During the day dose 1ml of liquid bacteria (such as bacter 7) per 10 gallons.
Clean filters daily and DO NOT FEED CORAL FOODS OR ADD NOPOX as it is food for dinos.
Day 5,, you can start with blue lights and work your white lights up slowly

Can you explain more in depth the reason for alternating doses of hydrogen peroxide during lights out and bacteria when lights are on?

 

[vetteguy53081]

Bacteria culture will attack and digest the flagellates and cause them to loosen and loose energy and peroxide will deplete the energy of the flagellates causing them to be depleted of nutrients

Are you familiar with oxygenator favored by some European reefers that has a hydrogen peroxide drip controlled by oxygen meter?

The frags are in my main tank, the dead acros are in the 40b ( a tank i added for my naughty fire clown and lemon peel angel, which i also toss all dead coral in lol). They have gotten alot better been slowly dosing N and P with some bacter 7 and H2O2, how ever i have been doing all at the same time, will try moving H2O2 to lights out. Good news is once they are gone i have plenty of chemiclean ready for the cyano
