Dino in cycling tank?

My 120 FOWLR just finished cycling. Nitrates tested at 80 yesterday, with ammonia and nitrite at 0. I have a 36 gallon sump, of which 14 gallons is the refugium. Refugium has DSB and live rock, along with 130# in the main tank. If I am not mistaken, I have the beginnings of a dino bloom in my fuge? Is this possible this early? I am seeing a light coating of diatoms in the DT, but the fuge has mucus and bubbles.
