Same thing happened to me when I last fired up a tank. I had a new piece
of that African root wood, and within days it was covered with a 1/4"
growth of grayish fuzz. I dropped in a clown pleco and he cleared it out
within a week. It was interesting, actually: as the stuff disappeared you
could see which parts of the wood he preferred to chew on (e.g., the more
concealed parts).
The fuzz has never come back. Not really sure what it was. But it sure
spread fast.
