What's this? I used Microscope

[JM Kang]

I used a cheap microscope to look at what might be green algae, dinos, or cyano in my tank, but I still have no idea what it is. It's not a high-end microscope, so the image quality isn't the best. Could anyone knowledgeable take a look and help me identify it?

I would say a bunch of filamentous green algae (Cyanos usually move, get discolored in reef tanks to more red/purple, and don't really branch)

The rest seems like detritus or bacterial biofilm. Hard to tell from the overall quality.

Check out my microscopy thread if you find more interesting things you can't identify, but obviously you can always simply ask in a thread like this one

Wow, what magnification is needed to get a shot like the one in the post?
