I can barely see, but it appears to be algae? I have never seen such a thing..

Is there an airstone under that spot?

how high is your water level? Maybe try not to have to close to it and see if that helps...

It was a little low

I've had that happen on just about every tank lid I've ever had, just seems to happen wherever there may be a little splashing and the lid stays constantly moist

yep i found it on mine also. i think it has to do with lighting, moisture, and water temp. not a biggie, just wipe it off when you can.

That's one of the many reasons I didn't run tops on my tanks.

Another +1. Tryin' to adjust the level in the tank doesn't really help as the spray is the issue. It just algae and wipes off easily.

Is that tank salt water?

 

[drew.hinds]

no it's fresh water

 

[drew.hinds]

i have a hanging filter and power head and bubble wall so i get that stuff all over my tank

My neighbors tank also has the same issue. Just have to wipe it off every so often to make sure it don't build up that much.

I personally have never had an issue with it, although my tank lights are LEDs so they don't produce enough heat to really get things growing on it I think. Of course I might be wrong and just lucky.
