It's diatoms. Change more water.

=================================
I figured it probably was. I don't know if more water changes are
physically possible. I do 50% water changes twice a month on all my tanks,
and have a lot of tanks to take care of. I guess I'll just have to live
with it.


Ever see what happens when you change that much water every day?

Try 50% once a week. For noew change 80% of the water every day for 2
days and it should jsut go away. Adding cloating plants should
help too.

If you had more light it would be green. Diatoms only grow where
green algae won't grow.
