Hi guys, I'm getting this red substance in my sand bed I have no idea what it is.
It first showed under the sand bed... I could see it thought the glass and now little by little has come to the surface.
I had a cyano issue a few months back, but this looks different, it has a lot more color. It don't seem to be affecting anything, I noticed some of the turbo snails even eating it.
In my sump there is miracle mud, cheato and culerpa I think they are called (the red and green grass looking thing) the red one as taken over the sump and the green one looks like it's dying, its super small now.
Parameters are high in trying to lower them now. For the pass week they have been 480 for cal, 9.3 for dkh, 1360 for magnesium and salinity 1.026.
I was trying to go for red seas coral grow program but have noticed some of my zoas closing thight every now and then ever since I raised the parameters, now I'm planing on dosing less to keep them at 430, 8.2, 1310 and 1.025
The tank is 65g and 20 maybe 30g sump. I'm doing 10g water change every week and adding 2 litters of fresh water everyday to the sump.
Should I be worry about this red carpet looking thing on my sand bed
