How I’m Fighting Dinoflagellates in My Reef Tank (3-Step Battle Plan) | Newbie Tank Build 2.0​

If you're dealing with brown sand or fighting dinoflagellates in your reef tank, this video walks through how I identified my specific dino strain (Amphidinium) and put together a 3-step strategy to beat them. Instead of looking for a single quick fix, I'm testing a biological approach to restore balance in my aquarium ecosystem: dosing Brightwell SpongExcel silicates to encourage competing diatoms, introducing copepods to boost biodiversity, and using a custom 3D-printed DIY UV sand sweeper directly on the substrate. Follow along as I document the process under the microscope and share what works, what doesn't, and how to approach dino treatment in your own saltwater setup!

 
'microscopic critters' was my justification for putting this thread here instead of general or reef discussion topics... don't shoot the messenger (giggle) - maybe you'll or someone you know will enjoy the 'solve brown sand' discussion in above link
