120g being torn down and had issues with Dinos for a couple of years off and on since bottoming out phosphates with GFO. Tore down tank and restarting with 40g IM. Fishless cycle started 10/6/2020 and all was well. Added a few fish, turned lights on and slowly ramped up. Added BTA's from old tank. Within a week Dinos all over. Microscope pics attached.
Phosphates 0.15
Nitrates 3-5
Nems are looking very rough and the couple zoa frags are not doing well either. I will start H2O2 and lights dimmed today.
Why am I getting these things again with phosphates and nitrates? Also, how is coraline algae forming UNDER the Dino mats?
Any other suggestion...I'm open. I'm about to throw in the towel on the hobby at this point.
