2019年11月19日 · Having a microscope and using it is the only way to correctly identify many algaes and bacterias, especially dinoflagellates. Each species has different way to treat. Bryopsis needs to be treated very differently than GHA and they are treated differently than bubble algae.

2016年8月16日 · Is there a guide on how to properly identify aquatic parasites using a microscope? I'm worried that it could possibly be an internal parasite that got pooped out by my stingray, as they're very susceptible to internal parasites. Thanks!! (and yes, I think that it takes a devoted hobbyist to randomly look at fish poop under a microscope )

2020年2月17日 · I finished the cycle about 3 weeks ago and have put in 3 fish. The week before, I started to get very long stringy looking algae with bubbles at the ends. I turned off my lights and started a UV light plan to run for 7 days. I did find some sample of the algae floating around in the tank and put them under a microscope. Can you please help to ...

2012年5月29日 · In today’s video Blaine takes us on a crash course on Dinoflagellates. One, if not the biggest reason, why so many aquarists get out of the hobby is dinos. Let’s get a better understanding of why these problems occur, how we can identify these dino strains, and how to properly rectify these...

2022年7月17日 · Hey all, I don't have a microscope. Just want to know of there's a way to tell the difference between cyano and Dinos without one. The video attached is what I have in my tank currently. T

2019年12月12日 · Can you provide any additional information or observations about the Symbiodinium-like (Chrysophyte?) cells described in your ID guide? I definitely have a few patches that have developed in my sand bed. Under the microscope the cells are TINY (approx. 10 um) and motionless as you describe. They are embedded in a thick mucus.

2024年10月14日 · I /think/ my torch has BJD. I took the brown goop off of the skeleton-showing/recessed part of the coral and put it under a microscope and saw what looked similar to what I've seen other users post. If so, thoughts on what I can do to save this coral, but most importantly, protect the rest?

2020年11月13日 · Examining material from the lesion of an infected fish under a microscope will show massive tissue necrosis and huge numbers of motile ciliate protozoans, most likely Uronema sp. It turns out that Uronema is capable of developing intercellularly, that is, deep within the muscle and organ tissue of the fish.

2021年10月31日 · You can buy a student microscope for under $50 that will work just fine. 400X magnification is all you need, really. My son and I use it at least twice a month for all kinds of tank related stuff. Here is a link to one I bought but there are plenty of other suitable models. You will use your camera phone to take a video through the eyepiece ...
