Hey all!

Have a 32 Biocube up and running for 2 months. Cycled normally with live rock and sand. See tank thread:

https://www.reef2reef.com/index.php?threads/New-32-LED-Biocube.321182/

I am having some new tank algae uglies, but with some livestock mishaps I am wondering if it is something more. I placed a starry blenny in the tank about a month ago that went MIA the next day with no sightings since. I had a coral banded shrimp die the day after molting. Both of these I chalked up to bad luck. I placed a yellow watchman goby yesterday, and this morning his eyes had clouded over.

Wondering if this is cyano between the green star polyps

Hopefully these are diatoms and not dinos:

My parameters are good:

Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 5
Phosphate 0 I run phosguard
Sg 1.024
Calcium 480
pH 8-8.2
And dKH 8-10 i dose when needed

My two clowns, feather dusters, leather, palys, Xenia, and gsp are all happy and growing. The six line I added with the goby seems happy. All are eating. Dino poisoning??
 
Yup. Looks like you're id is correct.

I'd say it's time to add some more snails to the cuc.
What do have in there now?
