Slime on surface of anodizing tank




I am having problems with dark, slimy (maybe oily?) feeling substance on the top of my anodizing tank. I think it may be a type of fungus and believe it may be the cause of some very small pinhole sized voids in a black coating. Isn't there some type of biocide for acid? I hate to put anything in my tanks without knowing for sure. If anyone has any info on this, I would really appreciate you help.

Are you using the glycolic acid and glycerin anodizing additive which feed algae?
