I like diatoms, I dose Si just to feed my lovely diatoms, they seem to be the only thing that gives my pet dinoflagellates a hard time.

Coolia and osteoporosis you want a oversized uv light. For large and small cell amphidinium you was to dose silicates. You should also dose a form of bacteria, phytoplankton and cocoapods to increase the biodiversity of your tank. Iv found that dinoflagellates are more likely to be an issue if you set a new tank up with dry Rock and sand. Its far easier to deal with the problems associated with live rock than it is dealing with dinoflagellates. Dinos are in every tank they only become an issue when you have a lack of biodiversity.

For fragging leathers I use plastic toothpicks and glue the toothpick to the plug

[@CoralMan24]

leathers use a tooth pick in a X pattern then use rubber band to hold it to your frag plug until it attaches
