Funny you should mention that.
Yes, I have, and it's effective - seems to contain similar zoom-y things to the green tea, and dinos don't do well in it which is a good thing. I'll continue adding to it
...because my "green tea" bottle crashed so to speak, it started growing a lot of green cyano - and so dinos hang out happily in the mix now.
Cyano and my dinos - BFFs.
news on the dino predator front.
Found several of these in my dino sand in my main tank. Looks to me like a ciliate - maybe euplotes?? with a half dozen amphidinium dinos in its gut.

another individual, also some amphidinium in its gut

Anyone help on the ID, and is it likely anyone out there is culturing these?

Most of the thinking is that Dinos come back after a lights out period because they are not replaced by something. So now you have a dino-sized vacancy in your tank biosystem. Most people try something like live phyto, pods, beneficial bacteria, algae etc to fill the space so dinos don't have a place to come back to.
