This type of issue seems to be more-common in newer tanks and you rarely hear about it in established systems. Try a pleco or other algae eater! Snails can work too. This stuff comes off easily. IMO the white growth is much easier to deal with than hard-water precipitates.

I would take a pic but my camera isn't working. It's built up a lot more now. My tank is half a year old now and some of the fish I've had for nearly a year now. The Pleco is one of these fish, measuring in at exactly 6".
I personally just use a tank scrubber once a week, and scrub the sides of the tanks clean. Just part of the weekly water change/tank maintenance. Along with evening out the diggers gravel piles and bla bla bla.
