So i recently setup a new 210 gallon tank, it has been about 2 months since its been running with fish and i recently had a diatom bloom but that went away on its own but now i am struggling with what seems to be a dino bloom, i have no idea why its happening, my nutrients are 5 ppm of nitrates and 0.08 ppm of phosphates. Can someone pls help me?
 
Are you sure it's a dino bloom? 2 month old tank sounds like more diatoms sticking around pulling the silicates from the system. Do you have pics or better yet, microscope pics?

What kind of rock do you have exactly?
