I just finished getting rid of dino's and now have this relatively fast growing algae. It looks like a mix of two things. It does not grow on the sand, just the glass and smooth areas of rock.

Found a dino for scale:

The chain of cells might be a diatom. No opinion on the other mass of cells the chains are mixed in with.

Thanks, I guess there isn't a lot I can do about it anyway right now. I know things must be a little messed up after dosing nutrients and having a blackout period because of the dinos. I got the nutrients down several days ago, but it hasn't helped.
