It’s did not have the bubble at the end. And it white color. When I try to remove it feel like jelly.Does it have little bubbles on the end of "snot"? If so, could be dinoflagellates.

Have you used any paint in the house recently ?
Or sprayed a new air freshener?
I use RO/DI water. RO/DI unit from BRS.Wow. Crazy fast.
Are you using tap water?
Do you own a canister filter?
You may need to buy one to fix this. A cheap one will work. Or a large reactor that is easy to clean.
You will need to use filter floss only and scrub the tank. Let the canister pull out as much as possible and change the filter sock a lot too
Run activated carbon in the canister or reactor or in a bag on the return pump.
You will need to do water changes with good clean water after the scrub.
A UV filter may be helpful too.
The most effective route and sure fire way to getting rid of chrysos is to have GFO, toothbrush, and a canister filter(is best option). If you don't have a canister filter, switching filter socks or floss, can work too.
Also keep in mind that after adding GFO and midway through 24 hours, you need to check alkalinity. You'll be adding full amount of GFO for recommended tank size and alkalinity will drop a little more than normal. Remember and record times to test dkh before and during GFO.
Day 1
Day 2
- First thing, scrub rocks with a toothbrush while filtering with canister or floss. Remember to check floss or sock for clogging. Make sure you get as much out as possible. Wait till tank clears.
- Perform black out. (ie: cardboard, trashbags, no light, etc)
- Add recommended amount of GFO for tank size to overflow or reactor. Start 24 hour timer.
Day 3
- First thing, check alkalinity if you haven't.
- Prepare to turn GFO off.
This route is what worked for me with coral in the tank.
- Or 72 hours later, remove black out procedures.
- Slowly acclimate the lighting back to normal to reduce stress.
- Your snails should start eating what's left.
Yes. The tank is starting with dry rock and live sand. The tank is almost 2years old. The tank have been thorough cyano.Yep. Looks like chrysophytes. Was the tank started with dry rock and live sand? How long has the tank been running?
