Dinos? Diatoms? No idea...

[Smutty2400]

Hello,

I started my tank 4 months ago and in the past month my tank started turning into the picture below and I am not sure what to think even after doing numerous research and trying to identify it myself. It started slow and then I feel like it covers every inch of the tank.

My tank nuvo 38 AIO is cycled showing 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and about 5ppm nitrate.

I just recently added 10 margerita snails and 5 astraea snails to help. They are doing work on the sand but the rock is loaded.

Start dinos. Blow loose with a turkey baster and siphon or net loose particles.
Reduce white light intensity and see if it returns and how quickly.
keep us informed.
