Is the screen heavily lit?

Have you an ID for your dinos? If not, get them under a scope.
I don't have a name or a link for it, it came with a bunch of pond equipment I picked up a while ago. But I think any tightly packed surface will do - the more surface ares for the dynos the better. It is very well lit, and it is right across from the powerhead, so there's plenty of flow (500 gallons per hour).

I came up with this idea after an observation. I have a purple tang, and added a yellow tang (few months back). Purple went nuts and started killing the poor guy, so I built an eggcrate wall to separate the tank in half. Within 10 minutes dynos were attaching to the eggcrate. Next morning, eggcrate wasn't white color anymore. So the idea was repeat that, but tot be able to take it out daily and wash it - repopulate dynos into the sewer system.
