Hello, I’m trying to decide what I am dealing with on my sand bed so that I know what approach to take. It looks to be either cyano or Dino’s. The tank is a Waterbox Frag 105.4 that is roughly 4 months old. All of my corals are happy and I have not noticed this growth on the rocks.
I initially thought that I was dealing with Dino’s, because I was struggling to keep my nutrients detectable. I have a small UV on the system as well. Since removing my filter roller and some bio media, coupled with heavy feeding, my nutrients are starting to come up. My nitrate is finally detectable at 1.8 ppm and phosphate is 0.07. My yellow tang wants nothing to do with whatever this is, however I have noticed my conch seems to be eating it, which leads me to think that it may not be Dinos. I’ve attached some photos that may or may not help. Thank you in advance to anyone who can offer some help!
