This is a new one. I know what to do about the algae and the fungus, but what is this? How do I get rid of it and keep it away?

It grows on the ramps, rock and sometimes the sides of the tank. Is there any way to keep the ph balanced so this stuff doesn't grow? I clean it off when I clean the tank, but I don't want to clean the large tank every other week. That's why I feed them in a separate tank and have a filter.

I have read that it is actually a good sign when you see algae growing, it means that your tank is healthy, ofcourse, keeping the algae under control is a bit difficult, I don't get much because I clean the tank every week, so the little that I do see, I just scrub it and that is it. Very Happy
