I believe I have dinos? Or something else.

Could you increase your flow?

The problem is with that I only have stock flow on the fluval evo 13.5. I have both of nozzles pointed at a monti and I don't want to lessen its flow. If anyone knows of a budget pump I'll see what I can do.

Look at Random Flow Generator nozzles. Economical.

So with the junk on the coral.... it's really taking over. Weirdly enough the coral is doing amazing (the polyps that arent covered at least) its sprouted more polyps since I last took the picture but I'm starting to get legitimately worried about this

Also for the cyano: anyone have experience with chemi clean?

It worked fantastically in my 20g. I tried increasing flow and reducing light and I couldn’t catch a break. One dose of chemi clean according to the instructions and 3 days later it was all gone. It’s been about 2 months now and I haven’t seen any cyano popping up. There was no effect on fish or corals in the tank

Did you have to do big water changes after you dosed it?

I had pretty bad cyano. Had to remove chemical filtration while treating ich and cyano got crazy. After I got the ich knocked down with herbals and UV sterilization, I took the vacuum tube off of my siphon, and vacuumed with just the hose to remove as much cyano as I could (very effective with just the hose). Then I dosed chemiclean (follow the instructions). After 24 hours I had 95% eradication. Instead of water changing and redosing, I left it in for 12 more hours (not following the instructions) and had zero trace of cyano then I did the prescribed 20% water change and added back my chemical filtration (purefiltrum, or chemi-pure, or carbon, whatever you are running). Been looking good for a month now. If you use chemi-clean, and you do not "wipe out" the cyano, it can build a resistance and become SUPER CYANO.

Oh god you saying SUPER CYANO really makes me scared.
