Is this Dino? I’ve had my tank up in running for about 2 months now. Just had a die off of diatoms I believe and now this long stringy algae has appeared. Can someone confirm it’s dino or if it’s something else?

I see film algae and diatoms which should blow away easily with a turkey baster

Possible -- but not probable at this early stage. Just make sure you keep feeding the fish and accept that you are going to go through a few ugly phases over the next 6-18 months. Dead rock starts take a long time to settle. Just keep the basics of temp and salinity stable and don't starve the system.
