What is this stuff?

[MadReefer]

Yesterday after the CBS was in the power head I noticed the water was cloudy.
Jackie later asked what was this stringy stuff floating. It was snail eggs.
This morning while doing some maintenance this white mucus stuff floated out of no where. I scooped it out. Any ideas what it is?
I plan to get carbon today and place in the sump to help clear it.

Well after 3 days of peroxide dosing and 24hrs of carbon; happy to report water is so much more clear and skimmer acting normal again.
Still no clue what It was.

Is it what was leftover from the nem?

Damn, did not even consider that. Nem liked the middle section of tank so rearranged it and seemed happy.
But since you mentioned this, nem is gone. No clue why as it looked like it was going to split.
So I don't think I will be getting nems again.

That’s why I will never put a nem in my display

Jackie is not happy. I told her most likely no more nems, no clown fish and no damsels.
She said all the ones I like you won't get......LOL

There are covers for power head that make it safer for nems, granted the need ti be cleaned often if you want the powerhead to perform well, it beats a shredded up nem. You can make 1 from a old fish net and fishing line too, just get the cover to be snug, but able to slip it out for cleaning.

Maybe you could surprise Jackie with a personal tank for what she likes

Not going to happen. Already have 2 tanks, more than enough.

It was on bottom in the middle attached to a rock. Why it decide get up and go during the night???
I have done that before in tanks where I had the PH rather low.
