Everything is looking good in the tank now, except the skimmer is still in overdrive...but I hear that takes a while sometimes. I still have the dinos thought. I can stir up my sand and vac it so it is nice and white and in 10 minutes (not exaggerating) you can see it starting to turn brown. I am considering Hydrogen Peroxide now.
I have dinos too. I was in denial before thinking it was some crazy diatoms that just wouldn't go away, but the moment I seen the slimy bubbles I knew

I'm debating to just remove my sand bed, as that is the only thing it is affecting. My rocks are perfectly 'clean'
