Don't you have a coral wand to wave?

Worried I may have Dino again in the frag tank. I got my new batch order of hanna regeants today which is nice.

What puzzles me is there is a lot of turf algae and cyano in there. Some of the cyano strands have big ole bubbles in them which is odd as well.

I’m wondering if this is Dino dooking it out with cyano and the turf algae.

When I started this hobby, I knew there would be a lot of ugly phases and expected it to happen to me. I never expected a cycle of Dino then cyano and Dino then cyano.

Getting a new tank even remotely stable is such a beating, I haven’t even had any GHA yet :/

My frag tank is about 4-5 months old, I wonder how much longer it will take until I find a nice rhythm for it.

I've had bubbles in mine before.

It’s just bizarre because I have turf algae and cyano, how are those not capable of preventing the Dino?

There’s no winning it seems.

I don’t see any classical Dino but it looks weird. I’ll send pictures when I get home.

Are you cleaning the film algae off your glass in the frag tank?

 

[Why-Me]

I have long strings of hair algae with a bubble here and there, pretty sure it's not dinos.
I could be wrong but it's not snotty, slimy like dinos look.
Either way it'll be gone soon, dosed my first round of Fluconazole Saturday and First round of Vibrant today!!
Not looking for pristine aquarium but to get rid of the abundance of algae overgrowing the rockwork.

To some degree, yes. There are spots where I can’t reach so I let it grow there as kind of a back up Incase nutrients drop again. I’ve had spots of cyano for a while.

Stop cleaning it off for a week. Then leave one side dirty.

Fluc + vibrant = a pristine tank lol

 

[Why-Me]

If you keep it that way, I feed enough to my fish/corals I'll always have some algae, which isn't a bad thing!

I haven’t touched it in two weeks and I guess maybe the cyano is going nuts. It might be time for a skimmer for the frag tank. I should also test nutrients daily in there until I get on a consistent rhythm.

Or dead fish, tissue recession, and dinos next?

 

[Why-Me]

Someone here won a HOB skimmer and seems it works great.

 

[living_tribunal]

I agree that it’s a little overkill. I would have gone with one or the other.
