I've searched google.. no real luck or answer...

I came home today.. and there are a handful of white flakes floating around... looks like skin peals from sunburn..

Under the microscope.. it looks green and algae like.. but white without the scope...
Magnified.. I see a few worms and tiny Lil "things" moving around... but not alot of movement..

Any ideas?

It's kinda gooey when I pull it out of the water

It won't let me post the microscope video of one of the worms..

The picture is from in my fuge..

The few flakes floating around the dt are quite smaller.. and a zoa ate some of one lol

looks kind of like a bacterial raft to me, (just a sheet of bacteria) kind of an unusual formation but not unheard of
 
Yes.. I have been for about 6 months now... I use the red Sea nopox
I never experiance this before in the past.. and the only differance is I recently lowered my dose from 10 ml down to 5 ml.. and forgot to dose the night before this stuff showed up..

I was think maybe bacterial as well..
Maybe the stuff from the piping flaking off or something..

Peramiters are good.. just checked today

Oh and I recently have been running my white leds for a few hours a day.. was on only blues for the last few months

Just wanting to be sure everything is ok..and the big flakes aren't a sign of troubled water ahead
