    Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and had a question. I beleive that I am having an dinoflagellate outbreak. It is a clear brown,slimy, stringy, algae with bubble all in it. I have read that raising the ph is the easiest way to get rid of this. My question is, what is the easiest and safest way to raise the ph to help with this outbreak? I do not have any pictures of this algae right now but I might be able to get some up tonight. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

    Kalkwasser dripped slightly faster than normal at night and dripped very slowly during the day.
