    Fungus from uneaten food or waste that has not broken down. Just keep cleaning the rocks and gravel and it should go away.

    Can I clean it while im trying to cycle? I took the rocks out, and tried to net what I could that was floating around... So basically its nothing to really worry about?

    Yes it will not cause an issue. During a cycle you just need to get ammonia into the water.
