Possibly Bacteria?

Today is the 4th day of cycling my tank. I seeded my tank with some gravel from a couple of local pet stores. It is hanging in my aquarium in pantyhose. Today I noticed that white fuzzy stuff is beginning to cover the outside of the pantyhose. Is this possibly bacteria or mold or something?? Or is that just plain nasty??

You should not see anything builting up. Do u have a power filter or anything to circulate the water?

that may be the prioblem.

if i were you, i'd take out the pantyhose. i had a similar situation with willow tree branches rotting in my tank and eventually, my female betta got infected and died.

I do have a power filter. Should I try putting the rocks in a different set of pantyhose or discard the rocks all together? I was hoping this would speed the cycling process up.
