Today I decided to compare the stuff I believe is killing my corals to the slime that is coming back..AGAIN. I thought it was diatoms, but I did a lot of internet searching today and it turns out they maybe a type of Trachelomonas, a type of Euglena (protozoa).
I sucked out a bit of the slime and put it under my scope...sure enough, the same crap that is seeming to be killing my coral.
I brushed it off my corals and glass yesterday.. these are pics from today showing 1 day of growth on the corals and also what it looks like under the microscope at up to 400x
Other than adding pods and deritovores, does anyone have suggestions...
BTW: I have tried numerous dips, peroxide and antibiotics
Anyone have pods for me in Calgary
