I do not have access to a microscope so im hoping some decent pictures might help. Ive been dealing with dinos for a few months, without really any success in beating them. Probably should have made this post a while ago

I did a blackout which didnt really help

My phosphates are bottomed out (gonna feed heavier to get them up a bit)
Nitrates are at 8.5

I only have my clown fish, was thinking of going to buy a cardinal but then i saw that depending on the species of dinos it could kill the fish so I am hesitant until i have a firmer grasp on what I am dealing with.

There appears to be algae on the rocks and dinos on the sand. Have you tried to manually remove the algae and siphon your sandbed?
Also, I would suggest getting your phosphates up. NeoPhos is readily available and inexpensive. Having no phosphates is the cause.

I have siphoned my sandbed before, i did it semi recently.
Any tips for scrubbing the rocks to remove the algae?

I also got some neophos on order, should be here soon.
