Hello all. This tank is four months old and I've had this problem for a few weeks now wondering if it's dino or bacteria. If it's dinoflagellates I'm not too worried but if it's bacteria I'm a little concerned. Any direction is appreciated.

In the videos it's the stringy brown stuff blowing in the flow as well as a very fine brown algae on my rockwork that easily blows off with a turkey baster.

sorry for the poor magnification I only have acess to my sons sicence wonders microscope lol
