As thr title I noticed that something that is growing on my driftwood and java moss. Those thing trap detritus and bubbles also. I can blow it off with my feeding stick but then it comes back after one or two hours.
If it's mainly on the wood and is clear or white (not green), then it's probably fungus and/or bacteria that are decomposing the organic compounds (sap, sugar) seeping out of the wood. It is usually harmless and will go away after the wood has leached out most of its organics. It could also be fungus and/or bacteria that grow on uneaten fish food.
Yes it is white but It also growing on my java moss too. I noticed that some of my java moss got burn I think is due to I had my at 100% white and 80% blue and red but I never dose any fertilizer for them. The light is ecoxotic e series 32W total. Also my 82.5 degree temp might be too high i guess
