My tank is cycling and there is some weird brown stuff growing RAPIDLY on the sand that looks like its been burnt- i figure its just algae or bacteria so im not so worried. But theres within the last hour been a lot of like little lines on the sand. I think they might be worms or something? Theyres probably like 50 of them (just like a millimeter) in one specific area that all look like dead lines (theres no obvious features like eyes or anything). I got some coral from a tank that had flatworms- but an hour before i got them a little bit of an overdose of flatworm medication was applied and i saw the results. Could they be flatworms? Or are they just part of cycling or the what im starting to think algae bloom.

can anyone help me out? because i dont want to have flatworms before when i add my first fish (a week from today)

I merged your first 2 posts.
Thanks!
Ken

go to my profile page and there is a youtube video. if you cant maximize that you could go to youtube (its the same title). And pause it when it shows the tank from the front and look hard on the right. Im not sure youll be able to see anything but thats where it is.
