Hello all! First post and first serious tank. My tank is 4 months old, I’m seeing what I believe to be Dino’s. I have had very low nitrates and phosphates so increased feeding to help raise them. Bought a microscope to help identify what kind. But I have no idea what I’m looking at lol. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!!

Tank info:
Red Sea Nano Peninsula
HOB Refugium
ATO
Dosing tropic Merin all for reef
Added galaxy pods, Tiger pods, dos live phyto daily

The cells in the video are diatoms (triangular/pointy) Also that large hungry beastie is a ciliate. they eat bacteria and tiny algae cells.
