Hey Derek, sorry you have to be in this thread.
If you look in this forum, Sonnus has a method of differentiating dinos and cyano that works really well. You basically take a big sample of the snot with a cup of water, shake the living heck out of it, strain it through a paper towel into a jar and wait. If it's dinos they will reform into a ball that floats in the middle of the jar. It is actually a bit alarming but biologically very cool.
If you're doing lights out RUN CARBON. I lost all my fish because I triggered a mass die-off of dinos during a blackout. (And the dinos came back to add insult to injury) Be prepared to get your fish out if something goes wrong.
