Thinking I have an outbreak of cyano. I have a reddish brown algae covering the sand, and I’m having to scrape the glass multiple times a day and it’s making the water cloudy. Any recommendations? Not sure if this related, but I had bottomed out nitrates few weeks ago. I increased my feedings to twice a day, but this cyano seems to have gotten worse. I’ve been dosing NeoNitro and got my nitrates to 4 so I’m happy with that. Nothing appearing stressed. I’ve stopped dosing coral animos daily, and temporarily stopping feeding the corals incase this is fueled from a nutrient overload. My parameters have been decent other than my low nitrates. I’ve added more snails over the weekend too. Trying to combat this as naturally as possible.
Got the bacteria bloom taken care of!! 😮💨 added a air stone for 2 days and cleared right up! Now just hopping my hammers dont die, everything else's looks good tho!

Still working through the diatom phase but any suggestions on clearing up my water? Using floss and activated carbon.
Is this dinoflagellates?
I’ve searched online on what steps to take but I want to hear from you folks here. Note: My water change is set for Friday ( weekly ) 25%.
Thank you in advance.
How do I get rid of this ugly brown film on the surface of my water, everyone says surface agitation but that has not worked for me.
Not the best photo, but like you can see it.
