bues0022 May 25, 2019 Share May 25, 2019 I was gone for two weeks on vacation. Tank was fed while I was gone, and that’s it. I care home to find a really weird gelatinous goop in my sump. I’ve never seen anything like it. Seems to form at the water surface. It has air bubbles, and is mostly clear, but whatever cyano color is near it is then on the surface of the goop (brown or red for me). Has anyone seen anything like this? Google is coming up short, as I don’t even really know what to search for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epleeds May 25, 2019 Share May 25, 2019 I take it the cheato was already there. But I get a clear jelly type substance in my top off tank. I have been told it’s bacteria. It doesn’t show up in my tank, only in my top off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bues0022 May 25, 2019 Author Share May 25, 2019 Yup, cheato was already in there. It’s not a thin film by any means - I can pop the bubbles like bubble wrap. It’s goofy as can be. Only on the sump, not in the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bues0022 May 25, 2019 Author Share May 25, 2019 So it’s not a very good source, but in any case: https://brainly.in/question/644678 apparently it’s cyano. They secrete a fluffy gelatinous later to protect their colony. Guess that means I’ve got a pretty well established colony of cyano in my sump ?
