hmmm. my freshwater 2.5 has it.......it was just build up. Did you put sand in your tank? It could just be an inbalance in ph....causing a white film or build up on your glass. Get a mag float.....should scrub right off.

i did have sand but i took it out kuz it looked dirty all the time an was just a pain all together, looked better but up keep was crazy. i put some ph tablets to get the ph down to 7 kuz it was up over 8.2 then i added some freshwater salt kuz i read its better for you tank i put that in there in less than 24 hours i got build up on my glass i should of kept it simple instead of doing all these different things.

haha its just a build up of your stuff. Probably a little bit of everything. Change one variable at a time......that way you know what the problem is. :)
