sounds like dinoflagellates or diatoms but hard to diagnose with out a picture.
does it look like this??

What circulation do you have in the tank, specifically near the bottom? Do you use tap water? How long do you leave your lights on?
In most cases, this is caused by water quality, tap water, lights to long or too old, overfeeding, overstocking, lack of right clean up crew, circulation and overall maintenance.
This means it can be fixed, but it takes patience. Almost everyone goes through this stage
