Pic very distant in pic but what I see may be webbing from Vermetid snails. easiest video to post is You tube versionI can't get the video to work but does this help
Can you tell what it is now?Pic very distant in pic but what I see may be webbing from Vermetid snails. easiest video to post is You tube version
This looks to be slime or bacteria and often from lack of filtration and water movement. I see you have a hang on power filter which is likely inadequate as its a mechanical unit and you want to have mechanical , biological and chemical to manage proper water quality. The aquaclear will polish water and trap particles via the cartridge.Can you tell what it is now?
Okay thanks for telling me I'll get a mechanical filter to replace itThis looks to be slime or bacteria and often from lack of filtration and water movement.

Chemical is what traps and breaks down chemical compounds such as feces and uneaten food often accomplished carbon and GFO
Biological is what utilizes the natural process of biological filtration such as use of ceramic nuggets, bio blocks, and microscopic bacteria surfaces as examples. Best it to add or use a hang on refugium such as Reef octopus or AquaMaxx unit and even add a hang on skimmer such as ice cap K1- or K2 100
Youre running a mechanical filter. You want chemical and biological as described. If not running a flow pump/powerhead, do add one to alleviate this build-upOkay thanks for telling me I'll get a mechanical filter to replace it
Question do I need to just get a diffrent filter, or do I need to also drain all the water and put new saltwater in the tankYoure running a mechanical filter. You want chemical and biological as described. If not running a flow pump/powerhead, do add one to alleviate this build-up
You can blow substance loose and siphon or net it up and add a larger filter or add more flowQuestion do I need to just get a diffrent filter, or do I need to also drain all the water and put new saltwater in the tank
