    Can someone check this scope video out for ID?

    I have some brownish stringy algae on the sand bed. Here’s some scope pictures with a link to the video. One person said diatoms already but I’d like to get that confirmed. Thanks! https://youtube.com/shorts/bIbPYK4BhB4?feature=share

    Battling Cyano with good parameters?

    Set up an Evo 13.5 4ish months ago and have been battling cyano for about a month now. I know it’s likely a bit of new tank syndrome, but I'm getting nowhere, and it just killed my nice chalice. It is especially frustrating as my parameters seem to be quite good and i’m very regimented with...

    Cyanobacteria?

    I have this stuff all over the sand. 5 nitrates, 0.19 phosphate. Any thoughts? Seems too heavy to effectively siphon out. Blows off the rocks and frags very easily. Goes away at night, comes back strong during the day. Orange picture has a yellow lense over the camera, bluer one does not.

    Nuisance Algae

    The tank is about 4-5 months old now and I can tell that the water parameters are becoming extremely stable with no fluctuations. I am starting to see purple/pink spots all over my rocks which I assume is coralline algae. The rocks are still super green and slimy though which I was told is...

    I'm just so tired of it and feel like I'm at my whits end. It's been a long 4 month battle and I've tried next to everything except chemical, which I rather just not do. I know I've read plenty of raving review on Chemiclean and others, but many of those just have the problem come right back...

    Please help. Dino’s? Diatoms? Cyano?

    Hello, I have a new tank that’s been running for almost 3 months and a few days ago I started noticing my rock, sand, and glass have started turning brown. My tank has been cycled since week 2 so I don’t think it’s diatoms. I had something like this when I started a tank a few years ago and...

    What is Causing My Cyano?

    Hey guys, I have Cyanobacteria, pretty positive, as it consistently creates mats of algae on my sand bed, rock, and corals. It’s more of a clinging issue to my zoas, urchin, and rocks. It appears red and won’t stop coming back. I have tested my parameters to 0 nitrates, ammonia, phosphates...

    Hi All, I've got this reddish/brownish thing that keeps growing in my sand. I stir the sand almost daily, but the next day it's back on my sand bed.

    Bluh Cyno

    so apparently I mixed up my waste water container with my water change container for a total of two water changes, one each week and I think the cause of it is this little issue. My tank water smells a bit funny, did a 25% water change to hopefully balance out the 20% I screwed up. I use a...
