ok, so first, there's Green Hair Algae - derbesia. Then on top of that, most of the brown pigment is diatoms growing as epiphytes on the GHA. Then there's small zooming cells that are moving in a way that's a little unusual for dinos. Could be dinos, but I think another flagellate or ciliate is more likely, and I dn't think they are a concern. At higher power might be able to say more.
Many thanks Taricha 
I bought DinoX before to discover the forum, but thanks to your advice I'll wait before using it.
About small moving cells, I'm sorry but my little digital microscope cannot do better (the image was 1600x of zoom), I'll looking on Amazon if I'm able to find another one and I'll post new video
In the meanwhile, I'll looking some thread in the forum to fight GHA and diatoms.
See you soon,
thnks
By the way, my tank water values (Salifert): KH 8.3, Ca 425, Mg 1350, NO3 2, PO4 na

Hi Keen4,
Dino stay for Dinoflagellates, sigle celled organisms you find also in the plackthon. They can appear like algae or like cyano and they can become toxic. Look here in the forum, you’ll find many photos and info about them
see you
