Dinos or something else?

[finnaest1]

I recently started my first tank and have had it for about a month. I bought the tank used, and used pre cycled media and rocks from the old tank which helped cycle my tank relatively fast. Everything was going good until a week ago when I noticed a bunch of clear bubbles and algae forming everywhere. My xenia, zoas, and blenny are all thriving, but I’m scared to what this might be. Please let me know your opinions.

How’s your nutrition like? No3 and po4? It looks like it may be dinos

Looks like hair algae with bubbles from photosynthesis to me.

Nitrate is around 10-20 ppm and I don’t have a phosphate tester yet

That’s what I was hoping for, but I got a green milling machine 24w and have been doing a three day blackout just in case.

Keep chemistry stable and nutrients available and it will pass

You need to keep a eye on phosphate if they bottom out you are more subject to having dinoflagellates, meanwhile I can also see bryopsis algae in the mix wit GHA that you may want to start keeping in check before it takes over the system
