I cycled a 20 gallon long about two months ago. It’s main purpose is to QT corals. I’m using a Tidal HOB, heater, power head and an AI prime led light. I measure the par at 150 at the top of the egg crate. No fish or invertebrates are in the tank. Just coral.

I’m starting to see a lot of this long stringy stuff on the egg crate. I’m scrubbing it off using a toothbrush. Can anyone help identify it and help determine a root cause?
