Currently battling Dino's. What is this red stuff ?

[Michael Gray]

I been battling what i think is coolia Dino's.

That being said. I bought a second uv. A 55w in display. Plus my 57w in sump. Been using 10 micron sock. And basting sand every day like twice. Dosing po4 and no3. I'm having to dose po4 alot. And when I get home from work. It's already back down to .04. But hair is growing all over rocks. It's using my po4 so I can't keep it at .1. Making me mad. Here is rocks now

Now I tested the sand that had a brighter red patch on sand with Dino's. Like a blend. I'll post pic. I see tint Dino's in it. But what's the red cotton texture looking stuff

Cyano bacteria imo.

Unfortunately. I'll take the little cyano. But these dam Dino's love the sand. Mostly on sand.

Cyano is the fine red strands. Typical since you are increasing the no3/po4 with dosing since this throws the balance out of whack while fighting dinos.

I hope cyano eats the Dino's. Lol. Im literally buying everything. But scared to try it. Tim's waste away and silica is on the way to house but scared to dose stuff

I know I want GHA to grow. But should I brush it off so it doesn't eat all my po4. I'm gonna out some hair under scope to see if it's bryopsis or GHA.
