Dinos or diatoms

[Pslreefer]

Soon have this dusty rust colored algae that coats everything. It happened after I used chemiclean for cyano...

Nutrients are quite low so I'm almost suspecting dinos but it isnt slimy and blows off like dust. The strands you see are gha which sprung up afterwards as well.

Any help?

How long has it been there? Is it stringy? I am currently fighting Dino and it comes off the surfaces very easily but reforms after a shirt period. Mine also goes away at night when the lights are off then comes back after the light have been on for a while.

Not stringy at all. Been this way for about 2 weeks now. I can blow it all away and comes back when lights come on in the morning.

Here are some images I have on my phone. You can see the strings handing off the ammonia monitor.

Your tank looks new however and if it is, would be normal and will go away.

Ya tank was looking good finally got all the aiptaisa wiped out then had a little cyano so used chemiclean and now this... not too worried about the gha as that is easy. Just the extreme diamtoms and trying to keep nutrients up to prevent dinos.

Po4 is down to .02 so im feeding heavier and turned off skimmer and light over cheato to avoid it dropping farther. The gha is dieing away since this pic but the diamtoms are crazy.
