Ok so the tank has been running for 2 months now. Every day I come home, this is what my tank looks like. I spend an hour cleaning it, and we're back at it again the next day. I was thinking this could just be a phase for a new tank, but I just want to make sure. I took a quick HD video so I can show it clearly.

 
Looks like dinos, diatoms are usually lighter brown and not as stringy. But it kind of loos like there is a small amount of gha as well...
 
Boo, I was afraid of that. It's weird, I thought they were dinos at first, then I got 3 scarlet hermit crabs and they ate ALL of it. I thought I was in the clear, but it grew back and now they don't eat it.
 
Can u take some better pics? Maybe clean the glass and get a close up of the rock in front with it on?
 
Yea I will when I get home from work today. I figured the GHA might mask what is really going on.
Agreed. Like i said it looks like dinos but a cleaner clearer pic would help make sure
