Here are all my links for Dinoflagellates that have been helpful.

Todd Crail's Dino Page: Treating Dinoflagellates
Another excellent battle of the dinoflagellates page
Ron Shimeks page on dinoflagellates (referenced in the above article)
University of Calgary link


This one cracked me up! At first I thought who would deliberately want to grow these at home?? :eek: After clicking on the link, they're actually pretty darned cool! I wish the crappy dinos I had were bioluminescent, at least they would be better to look at than brown goo. Growing Dinoflagellates at Home

Sounds like a hobby for Homer, look Marge we've got brown snot.. WOO HOOO

brown algae
 

Well, It's been about 4 days now. I turned all the lights off for the first day and a half and have been running just actinics on the tank for the past couple days. The algae is almost all gone from what I can see but that doesn't mean that it won't come back when the lights come back on. I've been keeping my alk and pH up too. I noticed that my snails have stopped dying too. Haven't seen one drop in 3 days now. Hopefully i'm one of those great success stories and I beat dinos in a matter of a few days but I doubt i'm that lucky. I did notice a bunch of very thin, orange, threadlike structures growing on the sand and amongst the rock in certain places too. Is this part of the dinos or something completely different. I'll keep everyone posted.
