I could be wrong but it looks like fuzz algae. Have a look at the link below.

Thanks, it looks like it also. I was thinking about getting 1-2 siamensis to help clean out the algae and return them when ever they start to outgrow my tank.

Actually, it may be a combination of fuzz and "staghorn" developing. Is it also on your substrate and pipes (outflow, inflow tubes)? It looks a lot like what I had back in the fall that developed into a nightmare.
What are your water parameters, lighting, etc?

Currently I do not know the full data of the water, but the pH is around 6.9 - 7.1 and I have 2.75wpg, 20 gallon tank, Shultz Aquatic Profile, DIY C02 ...
