What is this green stuff?

[Sleeves]

What is this green stuff on my filter and filter pipes? Its on the wall behind the filter too. I can easily wipe it off, but trying to find out what it is.

Looks to be mold, wipe it down with a vinegar soaked rag.

Mold for sure. I'd get on top of that pronto - especially if you have children in the home.

Moisture+oxygen=mold

Would running a fan to increase airflow in the cabinet help prevent this from reoccurring?

No standing moisture+oxygen=lots less mold.

If money cant buy happiness, that why do I need a job? I mean, I should be getting these fish free, since I don't have to pay for happy...

Might help. If it doesn't you might want to get a small dehumidifier back there.

Worst case scenario, you will have to rethink placement of things (i.e. not having anything up against a wall so that moisture cannot become trapped).
