Turned back on pump, and saw this

[Orddie]

Can you all take a look at this very short video and LMK what your thoughts on what is floating around my tank? Takes like 30-45 minutes for them to go away.

I am fighting 0 Nitrate test results this entire month and because 0 nitrate and nitrite, I have, what I believe with my limited knowledge, a Dino outbreak.

Pump was off for water change.

Looks like what I have happen when I turn on my return pump after a water change.
It's a film that builds up in the pipe. I don't remember the exact term for it.
My fish ignore it and it goes away fairly fast.

Yep, I have seen this before in my tank. Just a buildup of film.

On the topic of zero nitrates. What are you doing to try to raise it? You don't need to test nitrites as your tank is cycled

I'm trying to go simple to start. Overfeeding.

Dry food in the AM
Whole cube of Mysis Shrimp in the evening

I have two clowns in the tank that are young/undersized at the moment.
Two sand sifters
4 crabs
8 snails - which is overkill for what we got going on at the moment.
1 algae blenny - who is so fat... living his best life im sure. lol


Giving this a try for 1-2 weeks and see where the test lands.
