    I have one of these. Mine has thinner filaments as well as the more obvious thicker ones, and it looks like bits of the same in your 2nd photo too. Based on that I would have assumed it was just some kind of alga, but if the biogeochemical analysis indicates otherwise, I'll go with that! Maybe both?
