Dinos in Your Reef Tank? Don’t Panic, Do This Instead!

Dinoflagellates are one of the most frustrating problems reef keepers face, but they are not a death sentence for your aquarium. In this video, we break down why dinoflagellates appear, the four main dino types including Amphidinium, Prorocentrum, Ostreopsis, and Coolia, and how to fix each one correctly.

We’ll also cover commonly misidentified look-alikes like chrysophytes, explain why zero nutrients don’t cause dinos, and why new reef tanks started with dry rock are far more susceptible than mature systems with live rock. Most importantly, you’ll learn how rebuilding biodiversity, restoring nutrients, and understanding your tank at a microscopic level allows beneficial organisms to outcompete dinos naturally.

If you’re dealing with brown slime, strings, or dusting in your reef tank, this video will help you stop guessing and start fixing the problem the right way.
