If you could post some pictures, it may give us a better sense of what you're talking about. I can't really tell at the moment.

second that.
i've had foggy glass, but it's been a bacteria bloom, algae, and plain old being dirty. so pictures will help verify and allow us to give a proper solution

I too have that stuff (bacteria, NOT algae) grow on my glass all the time - it is fish slime (discus produce a lot), trace food particles, and some fish waste all of which the bacteria grows on. The best manner to remove it is to do weekly cleanings/wipes using a cloth rag just for that purpose; just clean the rag well in tap and let dry for a week. Use ONLY for that purpose. Never use soap to clean the rag. When rinsing and drying fails, throw the rag away.
Do note that this is most often the "good' bacteria and it does no harm and really, in fact, does do a little good but compared to the filter, it is of no importance. I was able to cut the growth of mine down by a factor of two when I started up my small, in tank algae scrubber. The algae competes directly for those types of organics and hence, reduces the total amount in the tank. So, scrubbers, besides removing nitrates/phosphates will consume complex organics to some extent.

Knowledge is fun(damental)
A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.
