Hi thanks for the response.
Tank is about 1.5 years old. Mostly disappears at night. But I think it goes into the sand and not the water column.
Been in my tank for over a year lol. Finally broke down and got a microscope to try to ID it .
Before, it absorbed all my nutrients. But now, I'm able to keep around 5 no3 and about 0.02 to 0.05 po4. So even with the nutrients, it's still there.
I also believe I lack proper microbiome as this stuff is about to out compete it.
Not that long ago it was almost non existent and thought I had it beat. But kept feeding heavy with pellets and mysis to try to keep nutrients up. Then, even with decent nutrient levels, it just came back again which is odd. I was doing weekly 5 gallon water changes, I think this made the water too clean and gave it a chance to reappear.
I think I need to refrain from water changes and start with some additional pods, possibly some macro alage
