diaotom conformation and weird algae

[nanonøkk]

just a question these are diaotoms right because my snails and blennys have been eating them

and the second thing what is this algae growing on my glass it’s looks to be growing like a stick out of my glass and it doesn’t look to be calcium based i dont think

update i don’t think it’s diatom because i looked at my sand bed and it has the same things sticking out of it dose anyone know what this is

The hairy stuff looks like GHA (Green Hair Algae) and the rest could be cyano, diatoms, or dinos. What are your nutrients like?

here are my test results and it doesn’t really look like gha to me because it’s like growing with the other algae on the sand bed and it’s not as flowy to me as my experience with gha was
