I feel like these are dinos. I will hopefully be receiving a couple of microscopes today. I will hopefully be able to post more pictures then for a positive ID.

What color do they appear when the LEDs are on? I have read that they can look almost a brownish color but I have never seen any in my experience. So far I have only seen Diatoms, hair algae, film algae, and spirulina (had mistaken it as cyano until I performed the H2O2 test).

Sorry. Looks like I forgot to post the pics.

Could be, unfortunately. A simple indicator test is to syphon some out and see if it reconstitutes into strands like you see in your tank.

Phos and nitrate levels?
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
