Could we get a tank pic with whites, not blues?
Golden, spherical, super-tiny <10 microns, motionless, embedded in mucus gel would be Chrysophytes.

yep. gold enough it could be chrysophytes. check the thread I linked and see if the pics in there matched what you are seeing.
yeah. that's gonna be dinos. But I disagree with your assessment of the tank.
I promise, it's never that dire.
Before we dig too deep in what to do, lets see if we can get the actual organism(s) figured out.
suck up a little bit of material from 2 different spots. One from the long bubbly stings in this pic
and take the other sample from the blobby gelatinous stuff on the rock surface in this pic
Put both under the microscope and shoot short video so we can see cell movement.
agreed! congrats, you don't have dinos.
This is (what we have been calling) chrysophytes.
golden motionless tiny spherical cells embedded in thick gelatinous goo that keeps them spaced separately. I had not seen the gelatinous goo form long bubbly strings like this before, so thanks for demonstrating that.
great microscope view in the video. Those things are tiiiny.
