Hello,

This looks like diatom, as I thought like most of new tank, a diatom wave is normal. It is gelatinous, what is it? how to get rid of it!? I heard, narcissus snails, then diamond goby to remove this, but I had also people telling me this is not diatoms, so I fegured I would check on the forums.
Even though I am removing some with the turkey baster, I still find chucks around.

Here is a video of the "stuff"

Thank you for you help in identifying and eliminating this thing.

Dinoflagellates. Fauna marin algae x will get ride of it but it's hard to find everyone seems to be sold out.
