Can I get a direction on this?!?

[CourtNjoeZreef]

Can anyone give me a better idea then bacteria or cyano? Like maybe what type of what to do about it?

Tank specs are in the bio

Nitrates 1ppm nyos kit
Phos .03 ulr Hanna checker
Alkalinity averaging 8.5
Calcium 430
34.9 salinity
Temp 79 average
I feed 1time per day 1 cube, phytoplankton, and reef chili

How long has your tank been running? I would call it cyano, but just anecdotally based on my experience. I think Vibrant will clean this up.

a sea hare also will eliminate it.

Definitely looks like regular cyano to me. Judging by how new your rocks look I'm guessing it's from feeding that reef chilli. Dried foods typically have an abundance of phosphates.

If you are already doing regular water changes and siphoning the sand, You can increase flow in that area to help. The tank looks pretty new and I think it will just take some time to stabilize around your feeding and maintenance habits.

Also, look at your flow... Cyano tends to develop in dead spots or lower flow areas

That's what I figured. I do 20 gallon water changes weekly and siphon the sand bed. I'll cut the chili back for a bit. So just manual removal and good husbandry and this will go away.

This tank has been running for 3 months now. I brought a bio brick from my first tank
