This appears to be hair algae (the wider filaments) infested with a very thin filament cyanobacteria. I would interpret this to mean that the hair algae is not doing well.
I know, time flies right!?Wow, this is your fist post in 2 years.
I don’t use microscopes, so I can’t help there. I trust what Dan says and I can see the Cynobacteria.
I suspect you need some janitors. I like snails. Also depending on what fish you have, consider ornamental macro algae.Macro Algae: Your Source For Quality Marine Plants and Macroalgae | Gulf Coast Ecosystems

If you would, post a full tank shot under white light
Thanks Dan. Sample taken from a small surface skimmer so high up in the tank. Is this also cyano and would you know what the dark blobs are?This appears to be hair algae (the wider filaments) infested with a very thin filament cyanobacteria.

I'll post a tank pic when I get home tonight

At first I thought this was a string of diatoms, but when I looked closer, it looks like crumpled filamentous algae. The dark blobs could just be clumps of biofilm, possibly bacteria.Thanks Dan.

So, are we saying diatoms or cyano possibly or both?
