Hello! Can I get some help ID's these type of Dinos -
My current setup is 120g tank - 40G Sump and is ~1 year old
Filtration:
Filter Socks (replaced weekly)
Curve 7 Pro - Bubble Magnus
Carbon Reactor
UV Sterilizer ~ 350-400 gph
Water Change - Twice a month 15 gallons
Dry Rock
Live Sand
Levels:
8.4 PH
Nitrate ~50ppm
Phosphate ~0.25ppm
Little back story: Had Green hair algae outbreak 5months into the tank. Used Vibrant for about 4-5 months to get rid of it worked really well, but now dinos or possibly cyano are here. Did a 3 day blackout and installed a UV sterilizer to the return line which seems to do really good work for a while but now 2 months later they are back in full force. Seems to be very strong on the sandbed and that's about it. I did replace the lights from T5 -> Leds which probably has a higher par output them previously so light might be the trick, but I just want to confirm the type of dinos before treatment.
Currently looks like this in tank some brown/some red-ish (thought it was cyano at first due to being red):
Some Close ups:
Sorry for the possibly bad pictures, first time using a microscope and had my phone taking the pictures / video.
