So this white fluffy stuff is all over my rock, I had a small GHA that is under control and has been for a couple months, but this remains. I brush it off, blow it off, and it’s there the next day. Almost like it’s catching floating tank debris like a spider web. Nitrates are at 8, phos are .03, dkh 9.4, cal 450, mag 1300, ph 8.2, and the only change is I routed my skimmer intake outdoors, (in a good location away from vents, exhausts and any possible pollutants, etc.) to bump my ph up. Anywho, thanks for the input!

Sorry I didn’t see anyone replied. It doesn’t seem to be bothering anything, I’ll see if it lasts, but for now I’ll just ignore it ha ha.
