Dino ID

[AcroZach]

Hello, I’ve had brown algae for months in my tank and I believe they could be dinos from all pictures and descriptions ive seen, however I’m still not sure. Can anyone help me ID these??

Looks like the start of it.
Prepare by starting with a water change and blow this stuff loose with a turkey baster and siphon up loose particles.
Turn lights off (at least white and run blue at 10-15%) for 5 days and at night dose 1ml of hydrogen peroxide per 10 gallons for all 5 nights. If you dont have light dependent coral- turn all lights off.
During the day dose 1ml of liquid bacteria (such as bacter 7) per 10 gallons.
Clean filters daily and DO NOT FEED CORAL FOODS OR ADD NOPOX as it is food for dinos.
Day 5,, you can start with blue lights - ramping up and work your white lights up slowly

Thank you very much. Will the low light not harm my acros? And how much can I start ramping up the light after the 5 day?

Ramp up 8-10% per day until you reach your desired intensity. For acros, you can run 10-15% blue as mentioned
