Can someone please help me ID this red/pink stuff and possibly recommend some treatment options. I’ve considered it to be cyano, diatoms, and red hair algae at different research point. I’m just getting exhausted. It’s not in the rocks at all, only sand.
I’ve scooped it out a few times now with a good sand cleaning and it comes right back.
The tank is about 15 months old. Corals are growing like crazy, most are in temporary positions on the sand bed until I figure out how I want to lay out the tank. Coralline has really exploded in the last 3 months or so as well. Nothing has really changed in months. Some routines, cut back on feeding amounts etc. Parameters have been pretty stable, I don’t dose, just do weekly AWCs.
Thank you!
