In this video I deal with a major Dinoflagellates outbreak along with a cyanobacteria outbreak. And I introduce several new species including a Black Ray Goby (Stonogobiops nematodes) and a Pistol Shrimp (Alpheidae) which from a symbiotic relationship and work as a team to survive.

Dealing with Dinoflagellates & Cyanobacteria: Detailed Procedure
Dosing Ingredients
Nitrate (NO3)
Phosphate (PO4)
Microbacter 7
Liquid Phytoplankton
Hardware
UV Sterilizer
The Process
Begin by stopping any cleaning of the filter and other components in the tank. This helps in maintaining higher nutrient levels.
Remove some macroalgae if present, as it can excessively absorb nutrients.
Dosing Regimen
Dose the tank with the following ingredients daily for a period of 6 weeks:
NO3: Keep nitrate levels at approximately 20 ppm.
PO4: Maintain phosphate levels at about 0.10 ppm.
Microbacter 7: Add according to the recommended dosage on the product.
Liquid Phytoplankton: Add as per the product instructions.
Temperature Adjustment
Gradually increase the water temperature to 27.5°C over a span of 3 weeks.
Once the desired temperature is reached, maintain it as consistently as possible until the end of the 6-week period.
UV Sterilizer Operation
Operate the UV sterilizer during the opposite hours of the tank’s light cycle.
Results
At week 7, the tank is clear of cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates, with only normal algae present.
Plan to continue the same dosing and maintenance procedure for an additional 2 months.
Future Adjustments
Gradually reduce the tank temperature back to 25°C over the course of the next 1 month.
