    Pics aren't showing. But my guess its cyano algae. To many nutrients in your tank. How much do you feed and for safety reasons, when was the last time you did a water change and how old are your bulbs/how long do you keep them on?

    How big is the tank? I forgot to ask that one originally. And yes flow plays a very big role. You might want to invest in some power heads.

    i would cut down feeding to 3 times a week, cut the light cycle down, do a water change to suck out that cyano.
