Default Weird Growth

Hi,
I have a 10 gallon freshwater aquarium filled with 8 adult mollies and 1 chinese algae eater. I clean the tank once a week with a syphon and do about a 15% water change. Recently this fuzz has been growing all over my tank and I cannot get it to stop. What is it and how can i get rid of it the fastest?
Here is a photo of it.


Thanks.
