Two weeks ago my tank got filled with many tiny moving white spots...

They measure aprox 1/10th of millimeter each...

I know they eat algae becasue you can found the doing that on the glass at the border of algae spots.

Took this video with a macro camera.... hope it helps:

I've never seen copepods that close up, but that's what they probably are. Copepods are great for your tank. They eat gunk and multiply to become a great live food for fish. You want lots of those.
 
Thank you both

Great link you sent there !!!

Reviewing it I think it looks more alike than the ostracod than the copepod...
