Mold (Comprehensive)

So, I have recently found white fuzzy mold on parts inside my hood filter. I have never had an issue with mold, though I have had a tank for a year. I am having a hard time finding comprehensive and somewhat credible information regarding mold issues in saltwater tanks, sumps, hoods, filters, etc... It appears as if this is not that common, or it is somewhat common at low levels in sumps bru negligable. I have read theories of too much feeding and rotten food getting caught in the filters but not much else. I am wondering how common this is in the hobby? If its more common with freshwater tanks than saltwater as saltwater tends to inhibit mold growth? If it is pretty normal to have small amounts of mold? When it becomes a problem? The causes of too much as well as the remedies? And possibly types of common molds and identification strategie.

Thanks,
