could this be something other than red cyano bacteria?

The nuance algae is actually redder in appearance than is shown in these images. I mean, it is just plain red, non-bubbly. But after 40 hours of chemiclean treatment, I'm still left with a lot of this.

yeah, I bought a cheap Amazon microscope. It's not very good. So dinos can be red? Anyways, the microscope I don't know didn't show me much just I guess I don't know what to look for and it's a cheap microscope. Dinos are worse I think because, chemiclean won't kill coral but as far as I understand Dino x does.

I also created a Refugium last week in the sump, but so far it hasn't changed things around, hopefully after time it will. I bought the refugium package from algae barn plus a bunch of macro algae from my lfs.


Dinos maybe?
Do you have a microscope?
