Plague proportions or just localized in a few spots? If you see it on your coral, blow it off.
Cyano is strange. I have 1 Rock that has been getting covered lately. No where else in the tank though. I Pull it out and scrub it on water change day.
What is wrong with my tank??

Nitrate and Phosphates are undetectable....again after trying to keep them up
Calcium: 451 Alk 8.9dkh
Going to buy a microscope to see what type of dinos these actually are. There is long and stringy brown pieces, some algae that looks like dinos but have a grass like look, and red coating on rocks with bubbles trapped underneath. All of the algae looks like there is bubbles trapped underneath

Yeah they came back, but I have my tank blacked out while dosing bacteria and hydrogen peroxide and it looks like a lot of the dinos are gone

Did a blackout with hydrogen peroxide for a week and here is the result. Now how do I keep the tank like this???!!!
Looks great! Hopefully the dino don’t come back now that lights are on. Test your parameters. Specifically nitrate and phosphate. Keep them measurable. Focus on keeping Alkalinity stable. IMO smaller and more frequent water changes help keep tank more stable.
Keep adding the bacteria every couple days.
