HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Three days ago I got up and there was white fluffy "cotton" all over the substrate and mired in all the plants and roots of the java fern. I changed out 60% of the water, vacuumed and pulled it all out, took out every plant from the substrate and cleaned it all off of them and deeply cleaned the substrate underneath them. I then put in more fungus clear to continue to treat the eye cloud on the black fin tetra and now...all that cotton is coming back? WHAT IS IT ??? PLEASE. My tank is falling apart ?!?!

This white stuff has little brown what look like seeds or something in the midst of them when you pull each out.

I looked all over the internet and can't find anything on this stuff.

Well, the tetra with the eye cloud now has ich so I added salt. I am afraid to test the water parameters with all these treatments in there. I'm at a total loss. I haven't had water problems in years. I didn't add any plants or fish. How could all this mess snowball?

You need to test your parameters with a reliable test. Post the results.
