I have had this going on for about 3 weeks now. I can siphon it out but its back the next day.
I am thinking its dino but not sure. I tried the coffee filter test but nothing clumped back up. Also tried H2o2 in a cup and it didnt bubble. Both could be errors on my part. My nitrates are usually 10-30. I don't have an accurate phosphate test atm.

The microscope is a 250x magnification and the dots in the image do not move.

Could anyone confirm from the photos below whether or not I have dinos and maybe what type they are before I start more aggressive measures?
Thank you

holy mucus strings!
Do they move under the microscope?
If not, I'm betting chrysophytes.
