Algae ID and how do I get rid of it?

[GP0801]

Hey guys, I've been running this little Fluval Evo for about 6 months now and it had a little wave early on with algae but then it cleared up and looked very nice for a while but now it looks bad again.

I'm pretty much just looking for some help to identify this algae and some advice on how to get rid of it. I'm pretty much just really hoping it's not Dinos but the more I look at it the more I feel like that's what it is.

Also included some pictures of the tank residents for fun.


Thanks

Hmm,
Is that bacteria, and diatoms, and dynoflagellites?

I like the fish alot!

If that's not ostreopsis I'll be surprised...unfortunately. Do you have access to a microscope? There are some inexpensive ones on Amazon that will get the job done.

I don't have one but I can pick one up if it's the only way to figure this out.

I don't know it's got me just as stumped right now. Thanks

It absolutely would be the best way to figure it out.

Okay any specific type of microscope I should be buying?
