Dinoflagellates

[zenn]

So I recently misdiagnosted Dinoflagellates for cyano bacteria. The Dinoflagellates problem started almost 2 years ago and slowly increased to the level where it looked like cyano, which is where I misdiagnosed it about 6 months ago.

I tried pretty much everything aside from upgrading skimmers and turning the lights off (i have sps colonies) and nothing worked. So I resorted to chemi clean after much hesitation because i thought it was cyano. That was about 4 days ago, and the chemi-clean nuked all the Dinoflagellates. Nothing left. My question is, what types of things should I look out for now? Can the Dinoflagellates come back?

I'm ugrading tanks to a 225 this month, so now would be the opportunity to make some major changes to avoid transfering the Dinoflagellates to my new tank.

I would still go with a 1day blackout. Your SPS colonies can halndle that. I BATTLED dino for 6 mos and finally a regime of darkcycles finally kicked it. My biggest problem was the dino killing any snail that went onto the tank, so HA started taking over as well. I'm now 4 mos clean :lol:
