Brown fuzzy algae

Is this the normal outbreak in a tank 3-4 months old? Always use ro/di water, chaeto in fuge, phosban reactor running, plenty of flow in tank etc.

Here I posted the picture for you below: Hard to say, but looks a bit like dinoflagellates. No, not normal. I have to go to work, but
an RC search on dinoflagellates or "dinos" should turn up quite a bit if others agrea that that's the case?
