From the picture looks a bit of green hair algae, a few things can cause that issue such as ( light bulbs being old, lack of flow, excessive nutrients etc) would like to know hows ur feeding habit etc, if u can give some information to see what could have caused it in your part

How old is this tank? And what are your other parameters. If its a new tank, it might just be going through it's paces.might have to be patient, or get a clean up crew.

It depends on the lighting and your nutrients. Your 2 cubes a day is feeding a lot of nutrients. Do you make water changes or use anything to reduce nutrients?

A few things were said up above and i think u should apply yourself to those insights to see how things turn out for you but word of advice.... stop feeding heavy and i would ALWAYS rinse out the cube in RO water i never ever added that cube into my tank.
