Anyone experienced this before. 3 weeks ago I upgraded my tank from a 20 gallon reef with 10 gallon sump to a 75 gallon with a 29 gallon sump. I started the 75 gallon with all new sand which was dry sand. A mixture of fine and coarse. I used the old tank water plus new and only seeded the sand bed with a handful of old sand. I bought some new pods for the tank and my refugium has all new chaeto in it. These dinos only show up when the tank lights are on. Also my water is still slightly cloudy from the new sand even though I rinsed the crap out of it. I added some new rock but it was all fully cured live rock from a local fish store who's tanks have been up for years and I know the new rocks were cured because they had coraline algae growing on it.
My nitrates are currently at 5 ppm
My phosphates are at 0.19 and I have a phosphate reduction filter pad in the sump.
