If you want to support local, bulldawg reef has copepods that Premier Aquatics carries. If you want to order, Reef Nutrition has great pods. Dinkins is also an option. There are also tons of people that post pods/phyto on R2R.

That looks like a diatom. Does it smell sour?!
I would get the ones with variety of pods in a pack. And will need to feed your tank with phytoplankton to keep them populating.

Hello and welcome to the hobby!
It does look like diatoms, I would beware of anything that might be leaching silicates into the water. I had a biobrick at one point that seemed to leach silicates. You may check out this article. https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/cont...ow-to-gain-control-of-your-silicate-situation
I found the Phosgard helpful.
Good luck

Pods are not going to cure your algae problem. They may help tho. If this is a new tank and its going through the ugly stage then time is your best friend.
