Strange carpet of rusty little blobs

Hi guys. I'm dealing with something I've never heard of before. I don't have my camera handy but I can furnish pictures if needed. Let's see if I can describe them...

 

They're thousands of tiny (1mm or so) reddish-brown blobs that kinda look like algae. They coat the bottom, rocks, glass, everything. They actually can be blown off of the liverock fairly easily, but they only take a day or two to grow back.

 

I thought maybe it's because there was something in the ATO water I was using (which was Poland Spring distilled) - so I switched that out to regular RO.

 

Ever heard of anything like that, anybody? It doesn't look awful, but I'd rather see the sand than these things.
