What is this coming from my return

Guys.
For the last week I’ve been getting clear slime coming from my sump and clogging the return outlet
I can’t see any build up in the sump , what is it?

Biofilms that are growing inside your plumbing. What are your water parameters and what are you dosing or adding to your system besides food and how much are your feeding.

Bacterial growth, or you leather is sloughing big time. (Basically shedding)

Haha
I’ll go with the bacteria from the vodka but for a week it’s been firing out tons of the stuff

How long do bacterial blooms last?
Tanks foggy

 

[LobsterOfJustice]

If you continue feeding it with Vodka, it could continue indefinitely.

 

[scotty333]

Well I’ve been on the vodka for 8 months and it’s the first I’ve noticed of it so wonder why now?

Can bacterial blooms cause any problems with corals?
Tanks a bit cloudy last 2 days
The skimmer is pulling it out because the skimmate is yellowish and is filing up quickly but the glass is coated and the nems look a bit upset
