cyano is a bacteria right??


in what catagory would dinoflagellate be classified??

dinoflagellate:any of numerous one-celled aquatic organisms bearing two dissimilar flagellae and having characteristics of both plants and animals. Most are microscopic and marine. Botanists place them in the algal division Pyrrophyta, and zoologists claim them as members of the protozoan order Dinoflagellida. Dinoflagellates range in size from about 5 to 2,000 micrometres (0.0002 to 0.08 inch). Nutrition among dinoflagellates is plantlike, animal-like, or mixed; some species are parasitic or commensal. About one-half of the species are photosynthetic, but even among these many are also predatory.


i always put them in the same class as algae but i knew cyano wasnt but i didnt know that dino's werent hummmlearn something new everyday

ive always been under the impression that when dino's takeover your tank its very hard to get rid of , my friend last year had his tank completely run with it and it nearly broke him down i think he has taken down his tank since then and never did get rid of it completely ive been lucky and have not had to deal with it yet...knock on wood lol
