Originally thought this was diatoms but it is sticky and does not blow off. Developed into dinos (stringy bubbles). Treated with reduced light, H2O2, MB7 and scrubbing/siphoning to defeat. This brown algae remains.
Standard green algaes are coating the glass daily and skimmer is pulling well.
Fish are fed 4 tumes with Reef Jerky/pellets plus 2 feedings of frozen mix. Tang gets (1) 4"x4" nori per day. (Been trying to raise NO3).
Corals are fed 1x per week Reef Roids and Red Sea AB+.
Scrubbed rock with toothbrush and siphoned sand bed yesterday but it was light.
Any ideas on id and treatment?
