I have a 55 gal that i cycled with mainly algae pellets. A couple of times I let them sit in there too long and they would grow this off white/bauge fuzz. I cleaned the tank out real well and did a 50% change before adding fish. It seemed to be okay but once i put driftwood and live plants in the fuzz was back growing on almost all surfaces in the tank. I ended up exing the driftwood because it grew the most on that. any food particle left on the substrate by the next day are fuzz balls. I dont know what to do. it looks almost like a coating of dust on my rocks plants and substrate. I soaked all my rocks and plants in diluted bleach several times and scrubbed the tank out several tiems only to have it eventually return. I figure its gotta be living in the filter, i cleaned the filter except for the main sponge because I didnt want to restart the cycle but Im thinking I may have to clean the filter and then take a seeded piece of media from one of my other tanks. Im getting real tired of this, also when the fuzz really starts going my leopard cntenopoma definatly breathes harder and faster.
Any Ideas?
