I’m not new to reefing by any means but we can all agree even the most seasoned reefer runs into a new issue at some point. This one is new to me.
I’m aware what the white slime is and what usually causes it but a bit stumped in my case as I’ve tried to go down the list of items that could cause it.
-we don’t use any cleaning products around the tank.
-I don’t do any sort of vodka dosing, nopox etc…
-never used any air fresheners in the house or sprays of that sort.
-nothing is dying or died in the tank, actually all my corals and fish are flourishing.
what I does:
-Tropic Marin AFR
-Brightwell Neonitro (nitrates bottom out if I don’t dose daily)
parameters:
Salinity: 1.026
Nitrates: 2.5ppm
Nitrite: 0
Ammonia: 0
Phosphates: undetectable by salifert and seachem (need to maybe start dosing this too)
Calcium: 430
Alk: 9
Mag: 1380
This stuff only grows in the dark in my sump just to note.
