I just stumbled across this, any thoughts on it IDing the round unknown spheres?

yep. That's cyano in your pic. according to
algaeid.com it's an oscillatoria.
Thanks. I can't resist a tricky puzzle. Wish all our responses were actual answers, but for every handful of cases that establish clear trends (slow flow UV kills ostis!) there's a frustrating exception (DNA's super-mutant ostreopsis that's immune to a million watt slow flow UV for months...[horror movie narrator]...coming this summer to a LFS near you AAAAGH! )
Just understand that there isn't a consensus here on most of this stuff - getting closer though. Just trends, reports, and finding patterns in lots of people's experiences, and testing which patterns hold up to more intense scrutiny.
