Any ideas?

Hi. Welcome to R2R! Can you give us some more information? A picture would be good.

Sounds like snail eggs.

Welcome! Pictures would definitely help. If it's all over it may be some sort of algae or bacterial growth...

Thanks for getting back to me.. Still trying to navigate Reef2Reef

I'm not sure what that is, but I moved this to another part of the forum for better views and answers. I'll give it a boost by calling the #reefsquad as well.

You'd need a lot of snails to produce that many eggs!

How old is the tank? Have you added anything recently - life? chemicals? sand?

If your tank is still new? It could be just discolored algae or if the tank was cloudy, sometimes can leave some dookie on the glass.

looks like little filaments. Does it move in the current and appear to only be stuck to the glass on one side. If so, doesnt resemble any snail eggs I've ever seen. Looks like an algae or bacterial slime.

I did add new substrate. I think that was part of it. However, It happened like a week after. It has me really puzzeled.

It just takes time to clear up. Just scrape the glass, be sure filter media is clean and check carbon to see if it needs rinsing.
