I dose organic carbon (vodka or vinegar) upstream of my return pumps in my sump.
If I close the return pumps and then restart them, a burst of oblong, fibrous, clear-white strands come out. I’ve removed a piece to feel it, and it was slimy.
I was sitting on the couch while watching my tank, and I noticed an explosion of these same flocs. My return pumps didn’t even stop.
Is this bacteria?
My tangs definitely consume it.
