No idea what this is but its really slimy like mucus. Any help would be great.
 
It looks to some kind of bacterial bloom. What are your water perams and do you run a skimmer ???

Cheers, Todd
 
Yeah water is within norms and skimmer is good to go. I was running biopellets but took them off line a while ago
 
Yes, Vodka or even just removing the bio-pellet reactor. Both are providing a carbon source to increase bacteria counts.

Cheers, Todd
 
Yea vodka will do that in its high dose stages. Once you've lowered the dose to a daily maintenance schedule it goes away.
