I am currently dealing w/ a Dinoflagellate bloom in my tank and thought I would pass on what I have learned, since I havn't seen any info on the board. It looks kind of like brown snot...w/ oxigen bubbles trapped in it. At first I had mistaken it as some kind of algae or cyanobacteria. From what I have read the most effective way to get rid of it is to raise the pH. So I am doing this by dripping in Kalkwasser. I have added a carbon filter and reduced the photoperiod temporarely. So far my efforts seem to be working (I did catch the bloom fairly early as I guess the stuff can take over the whole tank.. If anyone else has experience w/ this let me know.
