I have some sort of brown/red alga growing on my substrate. I took a sample of it and put it under a microscope - see pics below:
Any thoughts as to what this might be?
My latest testing:
pH 8.6
SG 1.026
NO3 0
PO3 0.03
dKH 9.6
I'm dosing iodine and NoPox. And I've been slowly lowering the NoPox dose and feeding more to get the nitrates up a bit. I really thought the alga were dinos, because of my low nitrates. But these don't look like any of the dinos I've seen pix of.
Don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm also having issues with some zoas closing up - figured it was due to the low nitrates, but now I'm not sure.
Would appreciate any help!
