What do you think this is?

i would say detritus settled on the leaves in the first photo, and the others are a combination of excess mulm/detritus and maybe a bit of hair algae (but algae is not viewable due to so much mulm stuck on/in it).
Looks about the same as the gunk that comes out when I disturb a filter I've had going for too long without attention. Especially if I've been feeding a lot of fresh zucchini. Stuff always seems to create a nice slime coat for junk to get stuck in.
I'd say get as much as you can to free float in the water column or on the substrate and then go after it with the vac while it's suspended. If it's as light weight as it looks it should float for at least a little while before it settles on your plants again.

there is none coming from the filter, they are clean I clean them monthly
Weekly WTC.
nothing changed in years just adding more liquid ferts and added some more plants.
Never had it before.
For a second i thought it was algae, looked in some parts stringly looking.
Where is the detritus coming from, I do not see any free floating in the water.
