Dinoflagellate are notorious in reef aquarium, it's a microscopic pest that is hard to remove and control from saltwater tank.
But this isn't my first encounter, last time blackout alone was enough to kill them all, but this time I'm trying a different method to document the effectiveness.

"There is beauty in all ..even in destruction."
You shoot and edit so well
Thank you :)
Fighting the good fight in style! The raised temp and UV should demolish your type of Dino quickly. Good luck with battle #2!
Pff, bring me better challenger!
The intro is so funny 😂, you are the numer one 😉👍.
I actually really had a nightmare, slept 3-4h that day (obviously film later, testing my acting career)
Tips vs. Dinoflagellates (Copy/Paste from Ep.49)
- Fresh Carbon
- UV light (if your species free-swimming at night)
- High pH
- Blackout 3-4 days (no light source at all)
*Blackout alone won’t always work, you need to use other tools, they are often in a dormant stage
- High temperature around 27°C or 82°F
- Keep Phosphate/Nitrate balanced
- Bacteria
- Copepods
- Hydrogen Peroxyde 3% (1ml for 35L/10g)
- Silicates (Via diatom bloom)
- Phytoplankton
At 5:45 I meant multiple Genera not genus.
At 12:50 I said Xenia but it's not Xenia.
I was interested in this, because it seems like a lot of people are having luck by always running their tanks from 80-82F. And 83-84F to kill dino. It is really making me question if we should be running tanks a little warmer unless there is a species need to run it lower than 80ish. I turned the temp on my tank up, and the normal bacteria loved it. but that also would drop the O2. So I turned it down, and I am going to slowly raise it back up over the next week or two once everything settles down.
@@keiouji1629 each tank is different and there's different dinos species, if you can try to ID and look what are there weakness
@@AquaSplendor what are the small free swimming fish called freely swimming around in your tank
@@ridwil7753 Personatus
ruclips.net/video/ivJMwi6rOnE/видео.html
@@AquaSplendor also what happened to your fish that hung out with your pistol shrimp
I don't know how your do it, but amazing videos every week.
That slowly zooming shot starting at 4:57 is absolutely amazing.
Best videos on YT imo.
Right? I was amazed how close I was able to go!
This channel is beautiful, honest and pedagogic
Perfect mix !
🙏
Never really realized dinos have the same neurotoxin as zoas, kinda scary if you ask me. There is so much in this hobby that isn’t well known or researched enough. That alone is enough to scare some people away from the hobby.
*Ostreopsis type, not all!
For me the keys were nutritent management and adding competition. MB7 and phytoplankton were a huge part of success i think. But in addition i had to decrease nutrient export significantly I pulled by chaeto and stopped the skimmer completely.. My problem was NO3, i couldn't raise it higher than 3 until i started adding Neonitro. Once I got my NO3 to ~10-15 (PO4 was 0.12), it seemed like the Phyto and MB7 started to take control. I added UV but don't know how much it actually did. just my 2 cents of experience. Love the Channel! Good Luck!
Thx for sharing this, hope other people read it! Similar path to the video!
Hard to find the right balance at times.
Becoming my favorite reef channel
This is insulting, how come I'm not already the favorite!? 😝
Such drama, really like your videos!!
watching your videos are like a movie. great job man keep it up.
🙏
Suddenly it hit me. smashing his little piggy on the corner XD
Love u vids. so brilliant, sharp and well made.
keep it up my fellow reefer :)
:D
A lot of good information here! Thanks for posting!
Thank you for the comment!
Yes ,your water is so clean
Dinoflagellates : hehe boay
So true it hurt
Ur video is so valuable to everyone in this hobby. Keep it up 👍
🙏
I legit needed this thank you!!! I can finally have an understanding plan to tackle the dreaded DINOS!!! :D
More tools, more knowledge!
Let's see round 2 how it goes, it's going to be rough for them, I'm basically Rocky Balboa.
@@AquaSplendor same haha! I’ve had so many of my corals die due to water quality and ALGAE
Nice video and almost impossible macro. Splendor for eyes. As always 👍
I got surprise with one of the shot clips I got!
This video is very very helpful!
🙂
Excellent video, Bravo!
Thank you!
I got rid of my mainly with the UV sterilizer (2 months). Also shorten the light cycle at the beginning. I was keeping white for 6 hours and blue 8 hours with lower intensity.
Reduced water change as any water change would make my dinos blow up.
After the first week with the uv + light changes they seemed to not be spreading more and with time started to vanished. In a month I wasn't able to spot them anymore but kept the UV for a extra while.
Awesome :)
Nice video again broo.
Why do you think they (dino) come back?
I shifted too aggressively the parameter of my water, especially Phosphate in particular.
UV will kill phyto. It’s useful to run it at night, when lights are off, and dinos swimming freely at the water column.
Awesome macro footage by the way!
Yes!!! It's bugging me, those 2 don't belong together, I just hope the phyto will be able to do its benefit part of the job. I switched to uv at night but for different reason: my eyes.
I feel your pain. Currently have my tank blacked out for dinos. Ugh.
“It Ain’t How Hard You Hit…It’s How Hard You Can Get Hit and Keep Moving Forward. It's About How Much You Can Take And Keep Moving Forward!”
Nice video! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!
Water change, UV filter (they sell small ones - green machine), use microbacter 7 . Change filter floss, use some polyfilter. This should clear up quick.
I'm confused, is it a comment on what I should do or a description of what happen and did?
This journey has been some rollercoaster! But wait @1:48 is that another tank i haven't seen on the channel before?
It's my lab tank, you rarely see it on the channel, in process of demolition.
i have dinos in my take. did a 3 day blackout and removed lots of the dinos with a siphon. also added bacteria to compete. seems to be working.
Good to hear!
Don’t forget the Hydrospace PNS. It’s all about the microbiome and bacterial balance.
Would definitely love to try hydrospace product one day :)
ostreopsis ovata, most dangereus
How can you tell? I wasn't able to ID the right Ostreopsis
Can you please make a video on filming aquariums? Like what lens to use for what situations and exposures! Thank you!
Maybe, on the list, the list is big...
I talked about camera a little bit many months ago, but it's not tips and trick but more about what are my plans (I guess)
ruclips.net/video/_v1IgjJav2M/видео.html&ab_channel=AquaSplendor
ps: honestly, I just press record, no real magic.
@@AquaSplendor haha thanks for the link! Im planning on shooting some freshwater planted tanks and have the a7iii. I currently have a 12-24mm but which other would you recommend? I have a good feeling you’re gunna say the 90mm 😂
Btw when I make my channel I’ll give you a shout out for all your inspo!
@@Christian-sr6pd I mean I don't have to say anything ;)
Could it be the new light?
Nah ;)
What camera are you using? Your video quality is so good!!!
Check in description, all info there!
I haven't had dino's, I think my tank is just too sterile and new but if I did I think I would follow your Battle Dino's method and maybe take a paint brush to them during a water change. I have a keen eye and I can get a little carried away, I'm the kind of person that would sit there for a long time to carefully clean. Although I would stop if I was doing more harm than good which is a question I was going to ask. Would a small paint brush be too abrasive to scrub away dinoflagellates from the flesh of Corals? I was thinking of buying one of those make-up brush things with the soft bristles, just ziptie it to a stick. I was thinking it would be cool to find some special brush you could use to carefully clean soft corals like Zoanthids, Cyarina, and fleshy coral in case you were in a situation were you needed to scrub a film algae or diatoms or dinoflagellates. I can see it now "Ecotech Rebrands $200 Make-Up Brush, Sells for $400 as Coral Cleaner"
I would say, don't do this. Don't use brush, Dinoflagellate don't care at all, its a waste of time, they will just back eventually, you are just moving the problem 1 cm away.
They way I deal with them is creating an environnement where they are having hard time meanwhile other microorganisms start to take their place.
And of course, always thrive to stability, which is tricky in nano (I still haven't found "my perfect routine" yet. More coral to come and they will have an big impact. After that will see how to tweak the food and water change.
How old is your tank?
Je croise les doigts !
Boah, j'ai affronté de plus grand adversaires :P
The uv will kill the Phytoplankton, so adding it while using the uv it might not be the best aproach, I did battle my Dinos in my tank just with the uv light but the strain I had was diferent, mine was the one that is spars trough the water column (The whole tank was brown also known as red tide), took me 3 months to figure it out, everything died, but the palythoas mutuki (impressed on how hardy this guys are). Good luck with those motherfu....
Yes!!! That uv thing is bugging me for that reason, I have no clue what % will die by the UV, but I hope by the time, the phytoplankton will do it's benefits part.
I have experienced outbreaks in my tank in the past and the prime cause is, believe it or not, water too clean for a relatively new tank (meaning very low nutrients in a newly established system) !! The solution that has worked for me is pretty simple: dirt up the tank! The idea is to provide excess nutrients to photosynthetic algae (any type of green algae) so it can grow and thrive and then it will eventually starve the dinos. You can increase your nitrates and phosphate levels naturally by adding more food than usual but it takes from weeks to months to fix. So, in order to expedite the process I dose nitrates and phosphates in a controlled fashion. This approach is only recommended to the experienced aquarist as any dosing error could be fatal to the livestock. Still, I swear by it. Of course, this approach will generate a new problem: algae bloom, but that's a way easier problem to solve later. Do your research and do what you feel will work the best for you.
Ah, and a UV sterilizer can accelerate the process and it also help in icky outbreaks as well so it's worth investing in a good one (check wattage for your tank volume)
@@DanielVazquez hold on, question: have you watch the video or previous videos about it?
@@AquaSplendor I entered this video for the "this could kill me" clickbait out of curiosity lol. I watched few seconds and then stopped when you said dinos. So I just immediately provided what has worked for me so other people reading the comments (some just come for the comments lol) so hopefully they realize this method works. BRS actually did a very nice video about this and they demystified so many rumors people have about dinos. However, dinos are complex because treatment may vary depending on the species. I guess you try every method until you find the one that works for you.
@@DanielVazquez That's a weird habit lol. You basically summerize what I did.
@@AquaSplendor Great, it will save time to some people :)
What siphon is that?
A big mouth
I’m battling dino’s at the moment and I’ve found your video a great help!
However, the link to your UV light doesn’t work properly and I’d like to try this UV light out?
Hmm it looks like the 5w is not anymore on Amazon US, but there's a 7w if that can work for you?
amzn.to/3ewkKwo
@@AquaSplendor will that work for a 75 litre aquarium? Or would o need something like a 13w?
@@thegrumpyreefer5546 I don't know, if you can fit bigger go bigger, more exposure! (Flow rate is important also)
First give a Like and then watch the Video.
Thank you :)
Why don’t you use gloves
Hi
Hello
Wat
Wut
I think he ment wattage of uv light
@@brianredban9393 😆
We should all stop going in the ocean, lakes, rivers or streams and stop being aquarium hobbyists then
Wwhhaatt?
@@AquaSplendor All water ways are filled with all kinds of flagella. It can kill us like you just said.
