Ah, welcome to my fungus... I've been dealing with this since the first week I set up my planted tank.
Everything I've read about this says it will go away on its own when the bacterial colonies develop. So far, I'm 5 weeks into it and mine has shown no signs of going away. It has spread to other plants, especially the hornwort which I physically have to remove from the tank every 3-4 days and swish around in a bucket of water to get it off. I vacuum the driftwood and plants as well as I can and remove as much of it as possible manually, and within 2 days its back as strong as ever.
Now, I have a very light fish load in my tank (three fish up until last week when I moved a dwarf gourami into the tank so now four) and this may be part of my problem. I've never had any measurable ammonia in this tank (the plants must be consuming it all) so I'm sure I have little or no bacteria established as yet, but I didn't want to push the bio-load because I'm going out of town next week. So MAYBE this will go away when I get back and am able to start adding a few more fish to the tank.
I hope so, because its ugly. And its driving me crazy! :x
