Got this stuff like crazy.
Searched he internet, some call it ghost algae.
It is very fuzzy, clearrish coloured. Kinda pulls off and is slimy in your hand.

Any thoughts.
Thinking about trying fluconazole treatment again.

Hail mary here but any scented candles or air freshners being used close by? Theyve been known to cause this

Just ordered some fluconazole. Ive had good luck with it before.
Might also try algefix marine before or after this.
Now that my tank is fishless, fighting ich. It has taken off even worse. The tangs were eating it, so leads me to believe its an algae.
