My take is that you indeed had a dino bloom at one point, and they have since receded, to be replaced - on the glass at least - by diatoms and green film algae. I take it as signs that your tank has turned the corner on your pest. All good news.

But, I would expect any soon attempt to starve out the diatoms/green film would cause dinos to reassert themselves.
