I have some reddish brownish algae growing on my sand. I do 20% water changes every other week and i don't overfeed. I run my 10,000K lights for 6 hours a day and my actinis for 10 hours a day. I have no idea if the algae is Diatoms or Dinoflagellates. I got some red slim remover from Ultralife and I have used it twice to no avail. I am leaning to the algae being Dino's since I have had 3 snail deaths in the last week. Can some give me some advice on how to take care of this? I have turbo & nassarius snails with red and blue leg hermit crabs as cleaners. The only parameter that has been out fo sync lately are the nitrates. Atm they are at 20 and I am already working on lowering them. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
