Have you tried this "remedy"?It looks more like Cyanobacteria IMO, but the remedy for both is pretty much the same.

Cyano will also.I have been told the dino generate little bubbles, a close up will be good
I wouldn't use any of those methods if it were dinos. GFO could potentially cause dinos if not used correctly. I think that site just used a mix mash of anecdotal methods. Sort of a grab bag for ideas if you will.What, manual removal, using a decent water source, incorporating things like GFO, maybe a refugium or ATS, increasing the water flow, keeping your parameters in line etc? If so, then yes...
If you check that link you'll see that the remedy for pretty much all of those different types of algae is pretty much the same.
Yes. Possibly ostreopsis. Sorry. Avoid nutrient reductions. Test your N and P and post this picture in the big dino thread.
That’s it under a microscope, is that dinos I presume?
I know what you meanI've become so. Good and spotting them now it's unreal.
Hope your good honey?I know what you mean
My tank is doing well so I'm doing well lol. Just seeded some more critters in the tank. Shipment of pods next week. I hear I'm over due for adding pods. Thanks for asking!Hope your good honey?
This was my situation in my 30 gallon, having a shrimp and goby. The sand will be fine. You'll just need to be proactive with keeping the sandbed turned while UV is in operation. Since the tank is small the 55w jebao may be oversized though can be utilized if space is available. There is always the 9w coralife turbo twist, or some of us had some luck with the green killing machine from petsmart. However, the uv will need to ran for quite some time. Going though a dino bloom is almost like having a reset switch on the tank maturing.This is for a 25 gallon tank, as for filtration I have chemistry blue and phosban running. Assuming I should take those out? And as for the sand is there anyway I can leave it in because I have a pistol and goby (along with two clowns).
Cyano will also.

IF it's cyano, which I cant tell because of the color, reef cleaners left out one important piece. Targeting the source. There isn't one spot under the cyano removal, other than remove cyano mats, that says to clean detritus out of rocks, vacuum sand bed, and sump. Scrape the algae off the back glass. Filter it through floss then throw the floss away. Inspect length of time lights are on. Make sure you arent broadcasting food into the display tank. If you cant target the source, it will only grow back.
Now reeferfoxx you can NEVER over do pods.My tank is doing well so I'm doing well lol. Just seeded some more critters in the tank. Shipment of pods next week. I hear I'm over do for adding pods. Thanks for asking!
I was going to tag you in a discussion the other day but couldnt for the life of me remember the spelling of your name. Now I cant remember the thread.
