Hi everyone, brand new to the reefing game. Tank’s only been up for a month and a half. A few days ago my nutrients bottomed out so I was immediately worried about Dino’s. I was hoping I caught it before it was too late but I’m worried I didn’t. Can anyone tell me if this is the start of Dino’s or is it cyano??

Video did not play on my iPad.

Seems early for the appearance of dinoflagellates. Maybe the cells are diatoms.

That’s what I thought as well but if you can get the video to load you’ll see stringy like things waving and I didn’t think diatoms had that.
