probably cyanobacteria, how old is your tank and do you use ro/di water?

nothing is going to eat that, you need to get your po4's and nitrates under control. i would start by switching to ro/di or ro water asap. and start running some sort of phosphate sponge like ferric oxide. also you might want to invest in some purigen by seachem. do you have any fish/inverts in your tank right now? what type of substrate are you using?
