Honestly, the video is moving too fast for me. It's like being on a ride at Disney.
I can't get a good look at it. I can't tell if it is brown ... it looks like it is covering the sand... based on the age of the tank, I would guess diatoms. It's only a month old, could just be the uglies.

I missed the month old part. I agree that if it’s brown and dusty, diatoms.

There are diatoms present for sure sorry for the poor video guys! But what I’m concerned with is like strains of red hair like algae popping up in various spots
