White Alge or bacteria growing on rock joins.

Hello all. I think i made a booboo.

So I used marco rock rock , locktite cyanoacrylic ethyl 2 glue and E-marco-400 to build my scape. Did I mess up with the glue ?

This has appeared during the cycle with no more ammonia but hight nitrites and nitrates so cycle is not completely done yet.

Dr Tim's and Ammonia chloride to get the cycle going.

Anyone any clue what this white stuff is on most of the rock joins ?

Sorry but it's the best picture I can get.

What does it feel like? Is it the glued joint or next to it?

It's on the glued join. I used the glue and sand to blend the joins. I scraped a bit off and it seems to come off easy , sticked to a plastic scraper and feels like jelly. Some sort of reaction with the glue ?

Yes, sounds like the glue, not a living thing.

Lol. Thanks. Hope it cleans off and does not cause any issues down the line. Panicked when I just noticed it there. No lights on tank yet so i didnt notice it till now as I wasn't looking for any life yet. Thanks
