Here’s another pic after I removed it from the glass, turned off the pumps and let it settle.

It does not look exactly like anything I have had in my aquariums. The color looks like chrysophytes. The bubbles in the last picture look like dinos. A microscope would help.

Dinoflagellates – Are You Tired Of Battling Altogether?

@mcarroll I am linking a thread I started that noticed my ORP was super low and I thought that was probably due to dinos. Anyone else notice the same thing? https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/can-dinos-cause-really-low-orp.325625/#post-4035164 I'll continue updating there.

that's some substantial filmy stuff. I agree dinos or chrysophytes are strong possibilities.

It just came out of no where.

Did a 50 gallon water change and it seems to help a bit.
