The only way to truly ID them is a microscope. but it seems most often our diatoms are a dusty looking covering, and dinos a a sticky mass. Now many "dinos" can be or are slime algaes and other closely related organisms.

By your description it sounds like I have Dino's. ugh. Thanks, Salty.
I got a microscope. And I just bought Julian Sprungs book [emoji432] on Problematic Algae.
Can Dino's have snot bubbles too or just the diatoms? I see only a few bubbles but not a lot. I cut my lights back by 3 hours this morning. So we'll see how it looks when I get home from work.
And I just bought a new set RODI cartridges. I suspect that's what my problem is.

Dinos are typically snotty.
