I down sized to a nuvo a few months ago and took the rock, live stock and about 20 gallons of water. Filled the rest with new water. Also added new sand. I just realized as I'm typing this I was running biopellets on the old system. I started with a little patch of gha. I started to remove it by hand and uped my water changes. 5 gallons once to now twice a week. Started to change gfo and carbon once after water change and still was spreading. I am dosing vibrant 4ml a week. It is going away in some areas between the manual removal and cuc. Now it looks like I may have some dinos. I'm going to post a few pics any suggestions are appreciated.

I could be totally incorrect, but I have read that having too LOW of nitrate and po4 could encourage Dino algae to grow. People have gone as far as dosing nitrates to feed the beneficial algae and it somehow starves the dinos. I’m not sure how that is biologically possible but I guess it worked. If I find more info on it I will post it up here
