Dinoflagellates are kind of easy to get rid of by rising the PH. I did it and it never returned.
I used Seachem OH to rise the PH to 8.4 and keep it at that for a week. Now cyano is a pain... Quote:

My ph right now is 8.4 but lights are just about to go out. I'll check again in the morning right before lights on. I'm using a bit of an older API test kit though so not sure how accurate that is.

Ph this morning was roughly the same, like I said probably a crappy test kit.
Dosed another round of chemiclean this morning, gonna keep the lights off for a couple of days, might cover the tank and go the complete blackout route too. So we'll see what happens.

if your going to cover the tank then you need to do complete blackout a little bit of light getting through will do you no good.

I'm gonna get garbage bags later and cover the tank up.
Since I lack an air stone I cranked up the skimmer to overflow.

Definitely looks like Dino's to me. I had them a few years ago and conquered them. Drastic measures though, you need to do an entire blackout over the whole tank for at least 4-5 days. Garbage bags won't work though, they are too thin and some ambient light will still penetrate into the tank. I used my motorcycle cover to make the tank pitch black. Try it, your tank will be ok in about a week. ( tank has to be in TOTAL darkness)
