Anyone identify this weed/fungus?   
In the last week this white fungus has developed on my bogwood and in a 
couple of other places,

http://www.edinburghcam.myby.co.uk/images/dscf1815.jpg/l

I have a 125L tank, 9 months old, and I change around 35-40L a week.
Readings are
Nitrate - somewhere between 25 and 50mg/l
Nitrite - less than 1 mg
GH - greater than 6°d, less than 10°d
KH -3°d
PH - 7.2

The tank has Fluval 3 plus underwater filter which is suitable for up to 
130L and also an airstone.

Stock wise, I have various plants(established) 2 clown loaches, 1 Siamese 
fighting fish, 4 neons, 7 glowlights, a few young mollies and 5 guppies + 
fry. I'm conscious of overstocking so am keeping an eye on the amount of fry 
that survives the first week or so!

I'm not sure if my water changes are to blame, too much too little? I tend 
to do it once a week(Sunday). Am also wondering if I'm adding the water 
conditioner correctly, just now I add only enough for the amount of water 
I'm changing, is this correct?

Any ideas what this white stuff is then?
