I have lost pretty well all my snails Astrea Snails, Margarita Snails,
Cerith Snails. This happened after getting a few new snails which I
bought to try and control a outbreak of cyanobacteria/red slime. Did
the outbreak kill the snails? Should I get turbos instead? Could it
have been a snail virus?

Any help would be great.

Yes definately could be dino's, it probably could be a combo of both.

I use RO/DI water (high silicate removal system) this should help with
diatoms but what about dinoflagalates?

What could be another source? I am using Kent poly-ox to try and fix
red slime/cyano and it seems to be helping slowly but would like snails
back to help with all algae!!

what would a good dino eater?
