This is my first time on the message board posting a question, usually I just troll and look at all the other nice set ups. This is my third tank and I have a MAJOR problem.
IT is a 44ga corner freshwater tank. It just got done cycling and I have have placed all my plants, drift wood, and slate into the tank. I cycled for a few weeks with a few barbs until all my levels got to where I needed to be. I have a FloraGlow and a Normal Tube on the top (two fixtures).
Almost in a mater of a couple of days (the past four or so) these white spore like items seem to be accumulating on the glass sides of the tank. After closer examination they look to be covering my plants also. The snails and pleco seem to not eat/remove them from the walls. What is going on, it seems to have become an expadentually exploiding problem it is hard to see from the picture, but they are stringy like items, that resemble almost microscopic versions of dandilion seeds!?!!
They are about a millameter in size, and whitish, they also seem to stick to the objects but flow in the water (move slightly by the current)
Advice?
