Next, my situation
I recently had to downgrade tanks after a leak in my 75. The previous tank was having some hair algae issues and coincidentally the tank sprung a leak at the end of a 3 day lightless period. Bad timing eh? Thankfully i was able to move it all to a brute and had a new tank up and running 48 hours later, a 60 breeder. I washed all of my sand and did a final rinse with ro water. Only half of the tank is currently lit as i had a light go out on me. What luck!
Anyway, i still have hair algea however i seem to have some other type of algea/bacteria blooming. My first thought was cyano do i did a chemiclean dose and after three days i noticed no difference so I actually looked a little closer and decided it didnt quite seem like the cyano i have dealt with in the past. With the lower nutrients ive got might i be looking at dinos? Most descriptions ive seen say that the dinos usually have little air bubbles attached to them which i did not see.
Anyways, pictures are included. Ill do my best to promptly answer any questions and will appreciate any and all advice.
