At my wits end what is this

[Budman93]

Tank is being overrun with what i think is dinos and also this brown looking macro type of algae. Im losing corals and just lost my shrimp. What is this and what do i need to do? I bought a uv light the other day to help with the dinos.

What is your maintenance schedule like? More info and white light pics of tank will solicit better advice.

I have a 40g IM fusion. I do either 5g or 10g water change every 2 weeks. I run carbon, a skimmer, and just added a UV light. I feed a tiny scoop in the morning and then half a cube at night of food. I have a damelfish, blackcap basslet, goby, and a tailspot blenny. I had a cleaner shrimp but he died the other day probably due to the tank condition or failing to molt. I can do some full tank shots when i get home.

Parameters and age of tank?

Fixed this for future reference. Bought an IM uv sterilizer which i run in the back, shut off lights for three days, and started changing out filter floss daily. Corals haven’t completely opened up again yet but i think the worst is over

Have you checked nutrients and other tank parameters? If so, post them here

You need to get nitrate and phosphate readings also how old is the tank?

Thanks for the update! Glad things are getting better.
