First issue appearing in my tank:

C678C5727BAA4C3F8FEF4949530B0783-0000327410-0003440965-00640L-EDFFA0BDDDBB48DF994B9BE54E83FFE8.jpg

What is it? Fungus? White algae or something?
I have no tests for amonia or nitrite.
Filter is not matured. New filter with new media.
Might this one be related that I have no bacteria
in filter to fight with this stuff?

Other information I have (if useful?)
*Capacity 125 with actual 100L of water in
*Fully flooded 3 days
*Kh 4, ph 6.5
*Dosing EI as per book
*Easy carbo 2.5 mls a day
*Co2 ppm 35-40
*Lights 6hrs a day 2x28w with 1x34w turning ON during the 6hrs period for 1 hour
*ADA Amazonia soil
*Filtration 1400 l/h
*No airstone
*Spraybar with 3 sections. 2 sections aimed
To front glass and 1 towards the surface.
*The same tap water I use for my temporary tank where Ihave no issuse like
*T 26C
*No live stock in

Any reasons for this appearing in my tank?
Possible causes? Bestethods to fight with it?

I have a second filter fully matured (1 year) and with lots of bacteria in. Should I set it up as additional filter to help reduce issues which might appear due the reason that new filter has no bacteria? Or this is not the case?
