Need help to identify DINO? WHT IS THIS?!

[Tux]

Not sure what this is. It covers my glass in an hour or two. Even after a water change. My sand seem clean and white. Fish seem healthy. Some say SCA and to ME it looks really small. Almost like Prynesium Parvum? In these videos it only shows the small Little creature but when I was looking earlier and taking some samples it had some bigger boys in there. But now its all this. This is what is on my glass. Videos are forma cheap microscope at 200x? it says? 250? So is this SCA with bad magnification? Idk i need help.

OP provided more photos in another thread and this thread is still marked as unanswered, so I put together everything I found here:

I pointed out the gap between (what I'm assuming to be) the epicone and hypocone (black arrowheads in the images below). This is a good indication that we're dealing with dinoflagellates, at least for the large cells:

(visible gap between epicone and hypocone)
​

The small cells are harder to identify due to the lack of resolution. Their movement fits small cell Amphidinium spp., but it's possible that these cells aren't dinoflagellates at all.

I’ll be doing a little more testing tonight to see if I can get any more information

Well I got another video. Not BETTER. Just another. Like I am limited in the microscope department. These things are SMALL. Whatever they are.
