How to get rid of this

[weichunc]

There is some in the tank and a lot in the sump and over flow box. Anyone know what is this?

I don’t know what it’s called but I had that a few years ago and I just kept cleaning it over and over again and eventually it disappeared. But mine never got into my tank, I would siphon as much as you can as soon as possible and keep an eye on it

Are you carbon dosing

Kinda looks like white slime bacteria. Socks getting clogged everyday and slime all over tank? I battled it for a long time. I think what fixed mine was a uv sterilizer. Other than that I let the tank go for months and removed my sock cause it was annoying.

Sponge maybe?

Another idea could be that it's some sort of decaying matter (such as a type of algae from display, making its way down to the sock, and decaying while in the sock).

Have you done a sniff test?

Looks like bacteria. Are you carbon dosing?

Thank you guys for the info. No carbon dosing but do have UV in the sump. These things are killing me and I have to clean the sump and tank very often and it’s about to quit the hobby.

It appears to be bacterial. They are sourcing food from something

I know that feeling lol. I was about to quit too.

Maybe it’s time to change your bulb?

Also kind of odd but we stopped lighting scented candles and it seemed to help too in case you use candles often.

Ozone will knock out bacteria very fast.

How is your skimmer running? What is your nitrate at? Bacteria needs a food / carbon source.
