My tank has again been hit with a clear slime I haven't been able to identify after googling every key term I can think of. I had this happen a few months back and did a full tank reset to get rid of a few pests I wanted anyways, but now its back and making everything mad
The main symptom is this thick clear goo that forms on everything and gets into slimy strands. Few pictures below of it. It also causes cloudy water. The first time (no UV sterilizer) I couldnt see much more than a foot or so into the tank. With the UV its holding it at bay, but noticeably cloudy.
Any ideas?
Tank Parameters
Total water volume: ~200gal
40watt UV sterilizer plumbed into the return
Salt: 1.025
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 1
Phosphate: 1
Alk: 7.8
PH: 8.0
Cal: 380
