Photos, video, and parameters below. Finished Chemiclean treatment and followed instructions closely, which completely got rid of my cyano problem and sand was super clean immediately after. However, 1 week later, I'm noticing this algae that is ONLY on my sand getting worse.
I know my nitrates and phosphates are high, just started a refugium with Chaeto a few days ago. Tank is 1 year old, but was moved, so essentially reset 6 months ago. Running skimmer pretty wet and carbon. Fish, corals, inverts all seem totally fine.
What is this stuff? Anything I should be concerned about?
Alk: 144 or 8.5
Calcium: 430
Magnesium: 1350
Phosphate: 52 or 0.16
Nitrates: 25
Ph: 8.15-8.30
Salinity: 1.026
Temp: 80
