PLZ help Dinos or Diatoms

This algea has been plague my quarantine tank. I don't know if it is just diatoms or something worse dino.

I havent had a problem with dinos before and have only introduced fish to the tank.

The tank is about 6 weeks old. Which is why i think this could be dinos. I think that diatoms would be gone by now.

This is really growing more in the top tank and under mh. Below it is about non existent except from being blown down below.

it is very stringy but has little mass almost like a liquid powder. it is easily blown wiped off glass vvery easily. It is super thin.

I am going to tear this tank down completly and start over if this is dinos.

I guess this is why we quarantine ehh.[IMG][IMG]http://i59.*******.com/2qtk178.jpg[/IMG][/IMG]
