White film on Glass

ratienza80 · 05/05/2015, 09:07 PM

Hi everyone, I'm currently cycling my tank and I noticed a white film on my glass. I am using LS and LR and noticed a whitish film toward the top of my glass from when I originally put the LS in. Also, I noticed that when I moved the LS around the glass is crystal clear where the sand used to touch the glass. I was just wondering what this is. Bacteria? microorganisms?

Thanks for the input!

Residue from the live sand. It is normal and harmless just wipe it off
