Ok so a little background on my tank it is a 120 gallon 48x24x24 It has been running now for 10 months. The last 3 months my tank has looked the best but just last week this problem began.
Parameters:
Nitrate - 0 (RedSea Kit)
Phosphate - 0.04 (Hanna Checker) Also running BRS High Capacity Carbon 24/7
Calcium- 500 (Salifert)
Alkalinity- 9.8 (Hanna Checker)
Magnesium- 1450 (Salifert)
I also run Passive Carbon 24/7 (BRS Rox) change out every 2 weeks
I do a 15 gallon water change every friday with Reef Crystals Salt.
Now there is virtually no algae on my rocks or my glass. Just on the rocks closer to the LED lights i have some algae that the Turbo snails make work of. And some on the sand bed and 1 spot of what i believe to be Cyano.
Now in the past week i started getting this stringy brown stuff that is only in a few spots but is irritating the hell out of my corals. I blow it of and it is back in the same spot the next day. ere is some pics can you help me identify it? Wondering if it is Dinos.......
