Looks like cyano bacteria to me. What are your parameters? Usually it shows up from high phosphate. You can try running gfo or other phosphate media. I think people also use stuff like chemiclean but i've never used it. You should also look into the causes, usually feeding and / or source water quality are the cause. Its also pretty common in newly setup systems as things take time to become balanced.
