Can anyone tell me if these pictures indicate dinoflagellate infestation?
I'm lucky to be friends with a doctor of biology who retired from a local university that will be willing to positively identify it but wanted to check to see if anyone could visually ID before I brought him a sample.

My water parameters are spot on with the exception of ORP being at around 250mV. Nitrates are reading zero, phosphates are undetectable, pH ranges from 8.0 - 8.2.
