Hi everyone,
please help me identify the type of algae I am fighting. They are on sand and rocks. When i'm trying to siphon it out it gunk up.
My aquarium:
Size - 64 liters
Lightning - Ai Prime 16HD
No3 - 3, Po4 - 0,02
When I turn off the light they decrease.

Being that this is dino, they generally start when there biological deficiencies in place.
No light is first key followed by the addition of bacteria to overcome the bad bacteria allowing them to thrive
Prepare by starting by blowing this stuff loose with a turkey baster and siphon up loose particles. Turn lights off (at least the white and run blue at 10% for 5 days and at night dose 1ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 10 gallons for all 5 nights. If you dont have light dependent coral- turn all lights off. During the day dose 1ml of liquid bacteria (such as micro bacter 7 or XLM) per 10 gallons. Clean filters daily and DO NOT FEED CORAL FOODS OR ADD NOPOX
You can feed fish as normal and if doing blackout, ambient light in room will work for them
