Well, today my own battle started. After noticing brown slime starting to spread on my liverock and glass I did a test of my nutrients. Turns out both nitrate and phosphate are close to or actually zero.
Even though I havent looked through a magnifier I am positive its dinos based on looks compared to all the pictures on the forum.
My first action was siphoning out all that I could see through a fine micron filtersock, then poured back the water into the sump. I will stop water changes right now since I am so low in nutrients.
I also ordered Microbacter7 and Microbe lift special blend, to start dosing bacteria. I will also try to increase my nutrients to detectable levels.
Other then that I dont really have a plan right now, I guess I will need to ID the specific strain to figure out best course of action.
Hoped this day wouldnt come, but guess its just rolling up the sleeves and get to work!
