I've been fighting this invasion for several weeks now and despite my best efforts I'm losing the war.

Looks a lot like Dinoflagellates, or maybe some hair algae covered in Dinos...looks a little dark (though could just be the lighting). Does it basically "disintegrate" when you blast it with a turkey baster or intense flow, only to reform? Does it go away after lights out, then reform when lights come back on?
 
Here is another picture of the sand that I hope will help.

It doesn't go away at night it produces tons of slime covered areas that I keep pulling out
