Alright boys let’s play a guessing game. I have some pictures and I’m wonder what you all think. I have a microscope coming tomorrow to confirm. DINOS? DIATOMS!?

Looks like diatoms to me. Nothing to worry about! It’s a normal phenomenon if this is a new tank. They will disappear on their own, usually completely within a few weeks!

Looks like diatoms to me, dosing copepods helps a lot
 
What do you think. Should I get better pics?
