Please help Identifying algae or bacteria

[Anthony123coral]

Someone please help me trying to identify what this is. I think it is Cyanobacteria I used some chemiclean last week and I thought I nailed it. But it’s coming back. I added a microscope pic taken through the eye piece with my phone so not the greatest. I did have a nitrate spike but have cleared that up
Salinity 34.9
Alk 9.9
Calcium 450
Nitrates 5
Phosphates .05-.1
Ph 8.23 average
Mag 1350
Any help is appreciated also what ever it is doesn’t move, if that helps

You have a pic of it in your tank?

You can test if it is cyano or not you know and it’s easy ;)

I do t know how to test it easily

Collect a little of the so called cyano in a clear clean cup with saltwater, add 3 ml of H2O2 with it, slowly swirl for a 30 sec or so and let it rest.
If it change color we talking cyano if not it might spiraling or a other type of algae.
Remember that cyano ain’t a algae.

I tried the h202 and it didn’t really seem to make a noticeable change in color. It did start to break up what ever it is though. I added more wavemakers to the tank tonight to see if that helps. It looks like Dino’s almost with the little air bubbles but I have had my fun with the Dino’s and have Id’ed them when I had them, with a microscope I don’t think it’s Dino’s because they don’t move when viewing them with the scope and they overall don’t act like the Dino’s when I did have them. Any help is appreciated still trying to figure this out. I wish there was a book that had all the pics and identification of bacteria and algae with pics to be used In conjunction with the microscope.

We need the full tank pics not the invader pic
