Pretty new to this hobby and I have some algae growing in my QT. Hoping I could get an ID on it and how to fix. Ammonia is 0, Nitrite is 0, Nitrate is 10. Tank is a 30g bio cube.

Looks like probably cyano. Most tanks will go through this stage while cycling. How old is your tank?
Also, have you tested for phosphates?

About 3 months old. Phosphates were 0 which made me think Dino. It looks like Cyano but I also thought I my be in a bit of Dino denial lol!
