[kingklova]

Started about a month ago tanks been up for about 8 months I’m running a Fluval sea evo 13.5 mostly softies except for 3 Duncan’s and two gorgonians one red one yellow out of those only one Duncan is doing good I also have 4 different types of macro algae
Maroon Clown
Yellow watchman goby
Bangai Cardinal
Emerald crab
Red crab I found in Florida not sure what it is
Onion anemone (also from Florida)
Millions of stomatella snails
Millions of nassarius snails
One turbo snail
One blue hermit crab
I test my water weekly my current parameters are
Cal: 450
Dkh:13
Pho: 0
Nitrate:0
Ammonia: 0
Temp: 80° F
Salinity: 1.026

Those look like dinos, not algae. Common in low nutrient systems with 0 nitrate and phosphate

Great looking tank btw, even with the dinos

Looks like gas bubbles and may be due to lack of flow. I see No evidence of dino as tank looks good

Thanks I use to have a seahorse but it recently became onion anemone food I removed my power head so no flow other than filtration

Yep, that'll do it

Scientific lecture says Dinos are caused by high nutrients. It could be that they drain the nutrients out of the tank before you could see them.
