Backstory: went fallow and didn’t feed while filtration running as normal. Nutrients bottomed out and Dino’s bloomed when I started feeding again.
Maintaining elevated nutrients increased dino competition. Today I see green specs on the rocks and sand which is a major accomplishment because I’ve only seen brown for the past 3 weeks.
But in addition to the green, I see red on the sandbed.
The brown in the center of the tank is coolia Dino’s (microscope). The bright red…is that cyano?
I just want identification. Please don’t suggest bandage solutions like H202, black out, vibrant etc. I know whatever it is will go away eventually now that my tank is in balance.
Phosphates 0.07ppm
Nitrates: 7ppm.
You can see the comparison from the Dino’s (brown) to the other one (bright red).
