adam_ducote Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Can someone identify this algae? I’m not sure what it is. It’s like string or strands of hair. Nitrates are at 10ppm. Salinity 1.026. Alk:9.2. Doing a water change tomorrow. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Lula_Mae Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 It's hard to tell from the pics, but does it appear seemingly overnight and rise up from the sand bed with bubbles in it? Look at pictures of dinoflagellates and see if it compares (I hope not!). Quote Link to comment

Clown79 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Could be a different strain of dino, they all appear differently. 1 Quote Link to comment

Is there any "normal algae" like cyano or green hair or coraline algae growing? Do you see any pods? How are they acting? Do you have a cleanup crew? How are they acting? What's the tank history? What's the tank setup? When did the algae start? Quote Link to comment
