I have had a long tough battle with dinos I took out my sand bed got UV raised nutrients and I haven't seen much brown anywhere but a week ago it started coming back on the glass. I don't know if this is dino's, diatoms or something else I can't find pictures that look like these anywhere.
Any help would be great thank you!


 
Appears to be diatoms
Siphon, reduce white light intensity and even add 1.5ml of liquid bacteria per 10 gallons during the day for a week

Me neither!

This is a rare something else. The envelopes around the pigmented portions of the cells are irregular, unlike diatoms. They aren't dinos. Not a typical cyano pattern or color either.

Got shots of what it looks like in the tank?
