Anyone
 
It's either dinos or chrysophytes but you would need a magnification of at least 800+. Sorry, I can't say either or at this point. Difficult to tell. Typically getting an idea of N and P measurements can give you an idea. By that I mean, some kind of N/P imbalance.
 
phosphate = .7
nitrate were 1ppm but I just dosed some and now its 8-10PPm
 
To me the pictures are not good enough to tell what it is. But. It looks like algae
