ive got some white deposits in my tank on my valis. I used to have some
green hair algae on them, not a really virulent version, just a bit of fuzz
and the odd longer hair appearing every other day or so. I think this is in
the process of dying through my new co2/fertilisation and is turning white.

So maybe it is dying algae.

My 15-galloner has white deposits all over. There used to be brown algae
which my Ottos and SAEs never really cleaned up. I have removed my
busy-looking accomplished-nothing SAEs to my fast fish tank. I still have
higher hope with my Ottos. Now the brown algae has now become white...it
looks rather disturbing. I did a 30% water change, switch off the lights
earlier (6 hour daily), and wait how it develops int he following week.
However, the whitish stuff is still a concern...
