Good evening,
Currently have had this algae bloom along side a little bit of Cyano in the tank. It’s a nano 20g mixed reef. Corals are doing great as well as the few fish. I know for a fact I’ve got Cyano in small patches however have also got this (stringy like brown goo) growing on rock and sand bed. I’ve posted some pics of this under a microscope, any help would be great as well as a treatment. Cells do not move at all.
I’ve been out of hobby for 8 years & have stopped chasing #s.. only thing I test for is nitrate (7.0). UV on 24/7, filter floss and sponge for filtration. Weekly 10% water changes. Lights on 8HR period. Everything seems happy from lps-SPS but this dang stringy stuff start growing on the corals and everywhere. I feed 2X day & red sea A&B 2X weekly. Started dosing microbac-7 twice a week to possibly help out compete this algae
It doesn’t look like GHA it’s more slimy and brown possibly Chrysophytes? (Last photo stolen from previous post but the exact same as in my tank
