Hi Can anyone id this algae? Diatoms? Dino's? or Hair algae
It forms long strands and where thick looks like fine hair with a few bubbles. Brushes off reasonably easily but grows back over 24 hours. Hairs look very seperate and a brown colour, not overly slimy or snotty looking
Tank params
pH 8.3, Alk 7.5, Salinity 1.025, Phosphates near zero, Nitrates 4.5
Tank is an emergency upgrade as old tank developed leak, transferred all live rock from old tank(1 year old) and added some aqua forest af rock due to volume increase. Had to do in hurry so no time to cycle properly.
Cheers
