Dino/ diatoms and looks like a little gha starting as well

Best approach to tackle these 3?

Tank is new/ young and it's going through the ugly stages.
What are your parameters.

You can vacuum up the dino diatoms when you do water changes and the gha by hand at the same time

 

[Wrightm1990]

0 Ammonia 0 nitrite 5 nitrate 0.25 salinity
0.3 Phosphate
8.5 alk

Parameters are good, so just the ugly stages, it's going to take a while for the tank to mature.

Im going to add a cuc now then

Good idea, do you have any fish yet?? If not it's time to start adding slowly.
