Good evening,
Currently have had this algae bloom along side a little bit of Cyano in the tank. It’s a nano 20g mixed reef. Corals are doing great as well as the few fish. I know for a fact I’ve got Cyano in small patches however have also got this (stringy like brown goo) growing on rock and sand bed. I’ve posted some pics of this under a microscope, any help would be great as well as a treatment.
I’ve been out of hobby for 8 years & have stopped chasing #s.. only thing I test for is nitrate (7.0). UV on 24/7, filter floss and sponge for filtration. Weekly 10% water changes. Lights on 8HR period. Everything seems happy from lps-SPS but this dang stringy stuff start growing on the corals and everywhere. I feed 2X day & red sea A&B 2X weekly. Started dosing microbac-7 twice a week to possibly help out compete this algae
It doesn’t look like GHA it’s more slimy and brown
