I've been battling what I assume to be Dinos for several weeks now. Brown, stringy/slimy stuff that loves the sand and coats live rock with bubbles inside of it. I've tried running my skimmer more, lowering nitrates, changing carbon, using Chemi Pure Elite, and even dosing Vibrant and Ocean Magik to increase biodiversity. I've been using vibrant at the recommended dose for about a month, and haven't seen any improvements. I've been using Ocean Magik phytoplankton for about two weeks without any improvement. I can't siphon it out because it rips up the top layer of sand with it. I'm not sure what to do next. Salinity is 1.024, pH is 8.2, ammonia is zero, nitrite is zero, nitrate is 5ppm, phosphate is zero, alk is 8.1, calcium 445, magnesium 1700. Corals and clams seem happy, and my cleanup crew seems fine, but they don't touch the stuff. It's getting worse every day. Any suggestions?
