Dark start

Hello everyone,

I’m four days into a dark start and decided to take a little look under the box at the tank, and I have a brown mist on the water surface and white fur on my red moor root, if anyone can help advise me as to what this is, it’ll be a weight of my mind.

Also I’m wondering if I should have the heater on while running the dark start?
I’ve covered the tank with a box and was wondering if that’s enough to block the light out for this method.
Ive attached a photo of the tank covered, and a photo of the hard scape I’ve used to assist with advice on what the brown dust type substance is on my water surface.
many thanks
David.
