How old is the tank? Are you using ro/DI water for your top off and water changes? How often are you doing water changes?

So the tank is a month old you haven't done any water changes. have you done any testing to make sure that your cycle is complete? if so you should be doing water changes to help bring those nutrient levels down otherwise you're going to get algae growth from all the nutrients that are in your tank.

You'll want to run carbon as soon as you can. Either a bag in the return pump or a canister or reactor.
That's a nasty outbreak of Dino's I'd say.

Are you using a bottled bacteria or vibrant, or something?

I'd look at doing waterchnges with a non probiotic salt.
