Hey, so I've got a lot of this stuff growing really fast, and I don't know if it is dangerous for my tank. Do you guys know what it is?
Thanks!
Thanks!

0.1 is the max people suggest but being there or even above won't hurt anything. Can it fuel a little more excess algae/cyano? Sure, but there's worse things to deal with, and even the nicest tanks seem to have an occasional cyano bloom.
Whatever you do, don't do what I did and rush to lower nutrients only to bottom out and end up with dinos.
Also, for future reference a good test to determine cyano from dinos, if you don't have a microscope, is to take a small container with a lid, fill it with some tank water and some of the algae, shake the hell out if it and then strain it through a paper towel into another container. If it regroups within a couple hours, it's dinos.
Here is a better pic:
Ok, so I looked at it under microscope and it looked like lots of little strings (almost like feathers) going out (diagonally) from one center line (verticale). I am not sure about bubbles, as I was looking at the shining water containing the whatever it is. What do you guys think it is based on that description? If you need more info, I'll see what I can do.
