Are you running very low nutrient system ?
If i am getting silicates what could it be from water is ro/di with new filters and membranes...but like i said i didnt get this problem untill i switched to led lights.
Hi all quick update:
Added red alike remover as the diatoms on the sand was getting bubbles trapped in it and getting slimey, along with a 10 gallon water change before adding the remover, slimmer off and did a day of no light over the tank...day later doesn't even look like I touched the tank all diatoms are back on the sand looking worse now any help?!
If it now seems to have a snotty, viscous character, I'd look for treatments for dinos, but they are hard to get rid of.
