Hey all,
Battling gha for months and months. Finally removed every single rock in my 220g, scrubbed and scrubbed and rinsed and rises and did a 100 gallon water change. Replaced in my tank yesterday. Now fine reddish/brown dusting/stringy hairs on the rocks. What is this? Dinos? What should I do now?
24 hrs after putting everything back:
Temp 77
Ph 8.2
Nitrates 1
Phos 0.03
Alk 9.4
Ca 471
Mag 1255
(I’ve now discontinued my ca and alk dosing since so many of my corals have died)

Looks like dinos to me with all the air bubbles trapped in it. Are they disappearing at night? I have something similar but not this bad. You eliminated the competition for them and they bloomed
