So this stuff was growing in my refugium and frag tank only, not in main display. System is all plumbed together.
At first it appeared to be Dinos, but what about calothrix??? My cheato had it in greater volumes and seemed slimmey.
 
green one in your hand is cheato. I use it in my refugium as an export. The others look like a mix of bubble algea and maybe a start of hair algae.
 
Hey,
Yes I know it's cheato, was showing the brown slime on it.... We think this is Dinos.... From photos does it look to be?
 
So I thought what I had was Dinos... It's really strange, My system is all plumbed together. The Dinos were residing in the frag tank and refugium only. My 100 gallon sump and main display upstairs have no signs of any dinos or even algae period. My main display looks super clean.

So after doing research and advice of refers I decided to go lights out and dos peroxide. I did the 1ml per 10 gallon. I gutted out the refugium and took it offline. The live rock in refugium had lots of slime and trapped bubbles... Cleaned it with vinegar and it's sitting empty but clean... The frag tank I also took offline from main system but kept frags in with Mp10 going... After 24 hours this is how the frag tank looks.

Can someone verify 100 percent that these are dinos???
The debris looks more greenish color after 24 hours and the trapped bubbles are gone...
