Hi everyone, I can’t figure out if this is diatom, detritus, or dinos, and how I can get rid of it. The tank is like 5 months old and it’s not cyano because I had cyano and it was very distinguishable between the two. Thanks for any input!

I agree with above, it looks like Dino’s. Only way to know 100% is to get a sample under a microscope.

but color and appearance in your photos with the little bubbles all point towards Dino’s.
Sorry for the bad news. But there’s a lot of great information on here about how to battle Dino’s. I’m currently dealing with it. It just seems to linger on and on unfortunately. Good luck!
 
Its the start of dinos.
First defense- turn off white lighting for next 5 days. No Not add coral food or nopox which is food for dino
