Hi, I'm having issues with some type of growth all throughout my aquarium...
I have a pic below. Right now my tank is getting 36 watts from T8s, about 6-7 hours a day, I'm dosing a bit of excel every day or so, and I just set up my pressurized CO2 system a couple days ago (this stuff has been growing for a little bit, but it's seemingly everywhere now) at 1 bps.

Any ideas on what it is/ what I can do to get ride of it?? I'm going to remove all the driftwood from the tank and boil it tonight, but its spread throughout my plants, too :/

Looks like white fungus on the DW. This is common, especially if you didn't boil it. It will subside eventually. You can rub it off. Some fish, snails, and shrimp might eat it.
 
Ok, thanks. I boiled all my driftwood and most of the bark that's in my tank, but a couple pieces slipped through. Does it usually last long?
