I have a small, 10 gal tank.. it is my display tank for local tree frogs. It has been kept planted for a couple years now and within the last few weeks has developed yellow mold spores in the soil...just below the moss. Don't know why or how to get rid of it.

There are live plants in pots, and silk plants out of pots (easier to change out). I am trying to get real plants to live in this tiny tank so there is a soil coco-mulch mix on top of large rocks for drainage. The moss is flukers...cause it is dyed green and looks better. And the real wood is aged grapevines. The frogs do not live in this tank, but are only placed in it for display purposes..

I don't know why I am getting spores all of a sudden. Nothing has changed in years, except for a little moving pots around. How can I fix problem? Or do I need to do a complete re-do..
