Diatom Algae After 1.5 Years?

mmm, thats what my diatoms looked like >.<

Back to the thing about silicates (that is the only thing I have read on that will cause diatoms)

Don't they sell Silicate test kits?

And if your LFS is experiencing the same thing and that's where your getting your water....(nvm that wasn't you who said LFS had diatoms >.<)

Ack... I missed the whole page on bulbs when I posted xD
Still applys somewhat tho ;)

That looks like slime algae to me. It's not stringy, snotty and bubbly, which would suggest dinos. It's not dusty, which would suggest diatoms. To me, it's just plain old cyanobacteria.
 
I think it looks like dino's, those are just what mine looked like before they were really stringy and bubbly. This is crazy, I don't understand why everyone is getting them.
