Dinos or Calothrix?

[Chris-Nicol]

Ok so I’ve been struggling to ID what algae it is I have.

I have just discovered this calothrix. Is anyone able to tell the difference and could you tell me what it is I’m dealing with

Doesn’t look like dinos.
There is an algae issue, but you prob have air going into the tank which is making the bubbles.

Ok thanks sniperhank.

Could it be that I’ve got my powerheads too close to the top of my tank and it’s causing too much agitation?

It'd depend on the type of powerhead I'd assume...You will most likely be able to see bubbles entering the system somewhere.
