Tank Has been up for about a little over a month….. I started with the Caribsea alive sand but dry rock


I expect to get some uglies as it moves forward but want to het an idea of exactly what this is…….

And what CUC ( which I do not currently have may help) as some will not touch some stuff

It is a brown more slime like than hair like and not dusty like diatoms - and it is getting the stringy hair with bubbles

Any ideas would be appreciated

The first two pictures I can’t make anything out, the rest I’m not really seeing brown. From the description I would suspect Dino’s. What is the complete list of parameters?
