Is this stuff dinos or cyano?

Stringy red stuff. Been treating with blue reef red cyano and doesn’t seem to be doing anything

My dinos kinda looked similar. What are your nutrient levels?

Ph: 8.2
Ammonia: 0-.25ppm
N02: 0-.25 ppm
N03: >0ppm
P04: unreadable bottomed out

Haven’t used any phos remover or anything besides carbon before dosing the red cyano rx. Should i dose phosphates? Also just took this test with api salt and reef master kits dont know how accurate

 

[Science/G]

Dinos for sure

How do i deal with dinos? Ive only ever had to deal with cyano and bryopsis successfully in my other tank before

Bring up your nitrates and phosphates, and siphon out as much as possible. A couple of sand sifting stars, adding a UV and dosing with coral snow and a bacterial product is a solid strategy to end the plague.

Bring the phosphates up first. If they're at 0 it's very likely they're dinos.

I also hung a small sheet (8"*5") of filter floss in my tank. My dinos were attracted to it. Rinse it twice a day - once a little before lights out and once just before the lights come on.

Was thinking that because this stuff is actually eating through my rs nanomat rolls
