So I have this white fuzz on everything decor glass dw filters everything that doesn't really move. Its just white almost plant looking things that stick to the glass or Dw and the base of it doesn't moves but the rest of it moves in the current. kinda cool at first but it never goes away! My research has told me its harmless and its BB. every says it'll go away in due time. But I've had it for as long as the tanks have been cycled. I scrap it off the glass and grows back with in aa week. It's an eye sore to the front glass makes it look dirty and the drift wood looks whitish and not the nice brown! Anything that would help? This first because to my attention bbecause its now starting I'm my salt water tank that's been up for over a month. I have bichirs and a catfish that eats anything small so snails won't work or small fish.

Sounds like too much waste in your systems spurring bacterial growth everywhere, or insufficient filtration or filtration media causing bacteria to grow outside the filters

Well yea that's probably the cause in the one tank since it was extremely over stocked with my growouts bbut I had a 30% water change every 3-4 ddays. The tank with it the worst is q 70g with an aqueon 55/75 loaded with sponges and biomax, a aq70 biomax and two sponges, a large hydor 4 or 5 sponge filter with 100g airpump and a cascade 600 internal with sponge. With weekly 25% waywe change.
