    Dino's, Yikes!!

    So I think I have dino's. At first I thought it was diatoms since I had put a new powerhead in and it stirred up a lot of sand. But the brown dusty stuff eventually turned into stringy stuff with bubbles on it. It also got worse as the day went on with the lights on, thus confirming my...
