Greetings,
There is a white web like thing grwoing on al glass surfaces of my aquarium and sump. I clean it often but it grows back, fish are eating it. Is it bad for the fish? Can anybody help me? Here is a pic of it floating in my aquarium. Sorry for the bad pic.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/09/mu4y8u6u.jpg

just looks like algae to me... If you're having to clean your glass too often for your liking start back at the basics... start Using RO water always if you don't already... my guess is your using treated tap water, overfeeding, increase water changes, increase mechanical filtration. light your tank less.

What are your nitrates? looks like something a parrot fish would produce when sleeping.

+1. Do you have any wrasses? The kinds that don't bury themselves in the sand at night will often form a mucous bubble around themselves when they sleep that can look quite like that when it gets in to the water column and blows around. If it's not being produced by a fish or a coral, it's likely bacteria.

Looks like the webbing from those tube snails when there mad. My tank gets this when I disrupt them. Can't remember the snail
Name but I'm sure someone will chime in.

Vermitid... I have lots of them and have yet to see the webbing land on the glass though
I thought you people were crazy earlier. The photo was right side up on the ipad but upside down on the comp, weird
