I have cleaned this out a few times in the past 2 weeks and it comes back after a day or so. Any idea what It is?
It's just algae. Usually caused by high nitrates and too much light. Have you checked your water parameters?
Your fine just a little algae no biggy the bubbles concerned me it looked like mercury or something
If you don't like it I recommend an algae eater, it won't move around much, and isn't affected by the 1 inch per gallon rule. Pretty much it'll eat algae from the floors, decor, walls, etc.
Not all algae eaters eat all kinds of algae and some algae no algae eater will eat. And if an algae eater is a fish it does in fact count towards your bio-load as does any living creature you add into a tank. Any algae eater should be gotten to aid in algae control not to try to fix the problem.
