Help!

There was no sign of this at all yesterday, and now during the night it grew up the entire side of the tank! what is it?

Can you get a photo with white lite?
Hard to see in the blue. How would you describe it? Is it stuck to the glass or flowing?

 

[Ebbott]

It sticks to the glass, but not very hard (easily wiped away with a sponge). It looks like it's a bunch of small stick like growths all pikes together to make it.

I'll see if I can listen up the picture

At first I thought it was a crack lol, then I read your post.

Possibly a bacteria bloom. Just guessing but it’s something to consider.

Its a form of dinoflagellates. . . Not the type that wipes out your tank potentially. Simply blow loose with a turkey baster and scoop it up with a net and discard. Reduce white light intensity and you can even add 1ml of hydrogen peroxide at night for 7 nights to help alleviate it

So far I just reminded from the tank using a sponge, and it came back a little. Once I reminded the second time, it has stayed gone!
