I have some on my glass it doesn't seem to harm anything my snails like to eat it. Do you have a cleanup crew?

Something tells me you are seeing coralline algae. That's a good thing.

I upgraded my light to PC's a few weeks ago and since then my whole back glass is covered with it. I left alone so far, some of the snail are eating it.

I think we need more of a description, is it just on the glass? and is it hard to scrap off, is it slimy, does it look like stringy hair.
More than likely it is there because of the lighting change, but you should also test your tank for, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, and phosphate and let us know the readings.

Tank readings are good, 0 amm, 0 trite, 0 trates, I always always use RO/DI water for water changes, top offs and feedings. Its only on the back glass I havent really tried to scrape it off so i dont know if slimmt or hard to scrape. I try to scrape it off tonight when I get home and see how it does. I doesnt look like green coralline its mor like a film. I post a pic later when I get home.
