Hello,
I have had an algae bloom on my sand for about a month now. It keeps getting worse. I think it might be green slime Cyano, but I want a more seasoned pair of eyes to ID it for me before I explore solutions. Below are pictures including under my microscope as well as a video and my tank parameters.
Tank: 190 gallon with sump including UV, biopellet reactor, GFO bag, refugium, skimmer.
Livestock: Stocked with a variety of fish, one torch, and a small colony of zoas.
Salinity: 35
pH: 8.09
Alk: 8.58
CA: 549
MG: 1315
Nitrate: 46.5
Phosphate: 0.12
Once I get an ID, I would like recommendations on solutions to get rid of it. The only thing that I have done so far was add Chemiclean yesterday on 4/23 following the instructions on the packaging. I have not seen any positive results yet.
