Kinda looks like an issue I had a while back. I think I determined that they were a type of Dino

What did you do?
Honestly, I got a UV sterilizer for general purpose and dosed H2O2 for a while. They eventually just cleared up. Never went away 100% because I can still see a couple in a water sample but they are definitely not an issue anymore. They must just be in check with other bacteria etc. If you do a search for H2O2 for dinos, there are a few sticky threads about it I think.
