Looks like gas bubbles and may be due to lack of flow. I see No evidence of dino as tank looks good

Those look like dinos, not algae. Common in low nutrient systems with 0 nitrate and phosphate
Scientific lecture says Dinos are caused by high nutrients. It could be that they drain the nutrients out of the tank before you could see them.
