Ive been lookin at my tank lately and realised little cobweb looking things in my tank, on my glass, thermometer and just everywhere. Some bits are also turning white? i duno wats going on? Should i be worried? should i empty and disinfect my tank? What should i do?
I got a feeling its my java fern thats causing the problem.
My tank is 6 gallons and its divided with 2 bettas and a corner filter, heater etc.
thx
 
I had this before in my 8gal betta tank!
It was caused by the Java Moss I had in there, exept mine was a more white and powdery.
What I did was move my betta to my 10gal and then I cleaned out the whole 8gal and washed the Java Moss too.
When cleaning out the tank I didn't empty it I just tookout 90% of the water with a suckon cleaner so I could take away most of the dirt in the water as well. I added some tap water into the 8gal and used the suckon cleaner again, after that I still had 10% of water left in the tank. I got some water from my 10gal aquarium and filled up the 8gal tank, because the 10gal aquarium had good old water and I kinda knew it would help.
Because my filter broke down a few weeks before that I got a new one and added it after I cleaned up the tank and added new water. A few days later I added the Java Moss then my betta. The water is fine now and the betta is happy.

Mabye you should do what I did... in a way. You don't have to but I think it helps.
