Hey anyone know what these white things are? Copepods maybe?

They look like algal filaments. Could we get some pictures under white light (ex. with a flashlight)?
 
Best I could get

If theyre moving- Coepods.
 
They seem to only move with the water flow. But they appeared within 30 mins of me cleaning the glass
 
Still not convinced they are Copepods. This reminds me of the times when diatoms (scraped from my aquarium glass) settle on the hairs of my hand, thus making them more visible. So, my guess is that those algae filaments I mentioned earlier (which slipped under your glass cleaner) are collecting and becoming coated in the scraped algae.
