Took my sample into work which I had got off the floss in the sump and definitely Dino's absolutely full of them but all dead apart from one very small translucent microbe about ten times smaller. So have borrowed scope over the weekend to investigate further. Pods arrived today so will add those tonight. However, almost all gone from the sand just a few strands on softies and the red grape so feeling hopeful! Not sure whether to ditch the floss in the sump now for a while as well, it is between the refugium and return pump to stop bits of cheapo etc from clogging the pump but seems to be a real collecting place for the little sods! The second sample I took from just the water didn't have anything in it though.
