Kevin S. Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 ID please, pretty sure this is DInoflagellates but not sure. Its on the rocks around some corals and on the back glass. I recently did a water change after a chemiclean treatment and have reduced lighting. ALK 7.8 CA 400 MAG 1250 Salinity .026 Temp 78 Quote
FarmerTy Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Looks like it to me. I've had this happen before where I used chemiclean to remove a cyano outbreak without resolving the underlying nutrient issue and I got dinos instead. Much much worse than cyano by far. Only way I beat it was to increase nutrient removal and dosing hydrogen peroxide at 1ml/10 gals of tank water for a few weeks. If your outbreak is small, take care of it ASAP before it gets out of hand. 1 Quote
Juiceman Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 When I had them, I siphoned out manually daily trough a filter sock, then changed Carbon Daily, and ran Phosban. Went away in about a week. Mine were waaaaaay worse than that! Quote
ceastman Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 I believe I have started winning my battle against bubble algae, dino and some other brown stringy stuff. I started dosing my tank and myself with vodka. I also started to do small h202 dosing today. Ive been taking out the rocks and scrubbing off the bubble and using tweezers to get the ones stuck in holes. Quote
Kevin S. Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Dinos seem to be going away, I did a WC and sucked out what I could. Also dosed some peroxide. Thanks. Edited January 22, 2016 by Kevin S. Quote
