Brown algae on sand

[Nickster135]

Are these diatoms? Any tips on getting rid of them?

 

[Jason mack]

No not diatoms ...looks like you have dinoflagetes...
Do you have more info over your tank and params ..?

Doesn't look like dino to me. More like a dusting of cyanobacteria. Can you post a pic of less blue and more white light?

 

[Jason mack]

If you can take a sample to a lfs with a microscope for a positive ID ..but it looks the same as mine

And I have dinos

I’m thinking they aren’t Dino’s, mine aren’t stringy or bubbly. Here is a pic under whites. One thing to add, I haven’t replaced my rodi resin in a while.

 

[Nickster135]

Hoping they aren’t Dino’s though! Took me months to beat it in my other setup.

Mine arnt stringy and bubbly either ..it was a bad photo under blues ...you can check my last video of my tank link is in my signature...there you see 5hem better
Mine are a fine dusting ..I can blow them off with a Turkey baister..I've had a positive ID under microscope
