many use similar - never have seen this, but it's the "pill bottle mod" perfected = should work great & cause zero performance problems
Hello! I'm not a magnifying glass , but it seems ... are stuck on the glass and other in suspension in the water ... in the beginning to think it was the bran substrate .
I see particles or living beings or precipitated salt or substrate rocks and dust. Really do not know what it is, but it's pretty ugly as shown in the video .Describe what I am seeing & I think I have the answer...

Great start to a reef tank. You are getting to the more fun and exciting parts. I personally LOVE the effect of cycling, and the long term "issues" with it.
I love watching algae appear for no reason, only to leave 4 weeks later for no reason. This will happen quite a bit as the tank goes on for another year+.
If your ammonia is 0, you will be ready for a slow and gradual fish and coral introduction. Quickly is not good. Take your time, and try to add over months. As you add THINGS to your tank, there will be an increase in the amount of waste to convert to nitrites. Take your time, and your system will keep itself safe. If you stock too quickly, you are inviting disaster....even if it is just an algae bloom.....there are much worse things that can happen.
Great start, and keep up the good work. I watched your videos, and cannot figure out what is in them. I predict that it was a "POD" of some kind (copepod/anthropod). Both are good to have in a tank, as it is a sign that not only is it inhabitable, but that conditions are well for small things to live and breed.
