I have really only noticed it today honestly. It is not slimy or anything just like dust move the sand and it turns white. Sandbed was moved around so it might look a little different.

Ok ots diatom most likley.
Follow the plan, it will pass.
Good luck.

I have finally tested my phosphate with redsea phosphate pro. My phosphate is currently between 0.04-0.08 lookin like a 0.06 if I’d say.

That's a good range. Keep it this way.

My RSR 425 went through that too, as quickly as they appeared, they went away.
Then came Dinos, but they came and left quickly too.
All part of a new tank stabilizing.
Just use the best RODI you can.
