It's really hard to see but it looks like hair algae and cyanobacteria. The pictures are way too blue. Is there any way you can take a picture with white light or a flash from your camera or phone?
 
I was thinking cyano cause the 02 bubbles but it's not red :3 I know on the snail it is hair algae
 
Oh n I've been dosing 2ml h2o ever 12hrs for 8days
It sounds like dinos to me. And yes that's correct. Treatment should be 14 days but it can sometimes take longer. I would just keep doing the h202. Do you have a UV? They help out quite a bit with dinos
 
Hmm Dino's interesting I think I know how I got it in there
ive been fighting what I think is cyano in my 90gal but my cyano solution isn't getting rid of it so it could be Dino's or spriliuna how ever you spell it
And when I go to feed I grab water out of the 90gal to defrost the food and split it between the two tanks so now I'll defrost it with ro/di and that's why I think the timer has to reset to 14 days if you know what I mean

Yes. For reasons like this is why we suggest not to share anything between tanks ;)

Unfortunately you now need to treat both tanks. A UV sterilizer is very helpful to remove dinos as well
 
Yeahhh I know!! Separate everything for tanks Well least I have a idea of what it is and how to treat it! Thank you
 
I literally was just on that thread bout two mins ago
It sounds like a good idea by idk how I would add a uv to a 10g aio
 
There are a few different styles of UVs most do not have to go inside the tank but you may need a small pump to pump the water through it for the kind that does not go in the tank.
