I find it hard to believe but I have ~20 ppm nitrate and 0.12 ppm phosphate. I’ve had this slime building up on the rock and I tried chemi-clean with no luck. I picked up a microscope and found this. Can it be dinos with high nutrients?

Yep. Looks like ostreopsis. Slap a good UV on your tank. Something else besides nutrients is out of balance. Possibly your bacteria biome is off some way.

Thanks for the reply. Should I run it at an algae flow rate?
