Hi Folks,
My 75 gallon reef tank seems to have a dinoflagellate outbreak. Its a light brown snot looking goo that traps a lot of air bubbles and collects on the live rock. Does anyone have exeprience dealing with this stuff? I've read that it dies off after a couple of weeks but its been about three weeks so far and its still hanging around.
My tank set up/parameters are:
-75 gallon
-4x96 PC Lighting (2 daylight, 2 actinic)daylights on 6 hrs/ day, actinic 10 hrs/day
-Wet Dry Filter
-Berlin Classic Skimmer in sump
-4 300-400gph powerheads on a Red Sea Wavemaster
-PH 8.3-8.5
-Alk 3.5
-Amonia, Nitrites, phosphates-0.00
-Nitrates-0.4
-temp-82
Any ideas? I try to siphon as much off as possible but it comes back pretty quick. What can I do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
