So I posted a question here some time ago about a brown scum building up on the surface of the water. Some people thought it was protein (as did my LFS) but I was pretty sure that I was getting enough water movement/skimming that it shouldn't be protein so I checked it out.
Anyway, its not the best picture, but its the best I could get with my old microscope and its of the brown diatoms (I think) that were actually making up the scum. If anyone is having a similar problem, I thought you might find this interesting and if anyone has any background in algaes, maybe you could help me identify this little bugger for sure?
