In the last couple of weeks my sand has decided to turn brown as below



Nothing, as far as I’m aware has changed.
I’ve ramped the whites up for this so you can see the true colour.

My current phosphate readings are V low at 0.006 (they’ve dropped from my usual 0.015 and nitrates where I usually keep them at 10.

Trying to get phosphates up which will hopefully sort this, but would like to know your thoughts.

It doesn’t look like Dinos to me, but I’m no expert so wondering if it might be a form of cyano?

Any thoughts from my video?
