Hi again.
So my tank is around 4 months old now and been going through all the uglies.
I am happy taking things slow and really not bothered about the uglies all that much.
It recently went through a massive GHA bloom which I mostly left to its thing while manually removing some and it’s now generally receding.
However I seem to have a new problem which I think might be Dino’s? I originally thought it was bubble algae as it was originally bubbly and green but has now turned brown. However today saw some posts with similar pics that were suggested to be dinos?
This was actually all over my rocks and stingy but I syphoned most of it out a couple days ago. It came off the rock really easy! I actually hoped it was just dying algae.
Not sure if this part in the pic is new or I just missed it tbh. I do have other bits dotted around the tank.
If it is dino’s and safe to do so I am happy to just let it run it’s course syphoning it out when it gets too much but don’t want it to kill any tank inhabitants!
All tank inhabitants seem to be fine right now! Corals such as GSP seem to be growing. I have added cheato into the sump a week ago.
Nitrates are between 0.0 to 5.0 ppm (API). I haven’t tested phosphate. But I am researching into the best test kit for them. Sadly can’t afford the Hanna .
Sorry for the long post I hope I haven’t chucked in too much info! Thanks for your help.
