Dinoflagellates transfer from one system to another

djkms · 11/17/2010, 10:43 AM

Hello all. I picked up some frags last night from a system which had dyno. The frags that I got did not appear to have any dyno on them but I am curious of the chances that it did in fact get introduced into my system. Before introducing the frags I scrubbed them real well with a toothbrush and did a Revive dip for about 7 minutes before introducing them. I know I know I should have quarantined them but I have not yet setup my coral quarantine tank.

I have a very nutrient poor system, my nitrate and phosphate are both undetectable with my test kits and water parameters are stable. I also have plenty of flow in my tank. There is no signs of any other nuisance algae in my tank. Thoughts?

I don't think you'll have a problem. It doesn't sound like the conditions would be right for it anyways.
