Used 90 gallon tank. Cleaned with vinegar and water. Let it stay in tank for 1 week. Ran powerhead whole time. Yesterday none of this in tank. Today, all over corners and where silicon is. What is it? I took tank down and cleaned it with water and baking soda.
 
I've gotten a similar ... fungus? ... when I've left vinegar running in a tank for a week or so. It's gross, but I don't think particularly harmful. Wipe it, maybe bleach it, clean your stuff and build your system!

That's good to know. Its clean now. Scrubbing it and cleaning it. Gotta find correct size bulkheads now and some silicon for sides.
