nitrates are at the same level as yesterday. I kept dosing Neonitro today to see if it raises. Im only dosing Neonitro at a time, the rest of my dosing is with DOS dosser

Sorry I should have been more clear on my question. I meant is anything else being dosed period that way it would be easier to determine what the slime was coming from. Normally a slime like you described is from bacteria build up but I'm not sure if it would be caused from just from neonitro if you are dosing the recommended amount
Im dosing 2 part/Mag/Potassium/acropower
the mucus showed up again. Filter bag is surrounded of this thing. And the skimmer is acting weird. The only thing I’m doing different is dosing NioNitro. 3rd day dosing and Nitrates hasn’t moved a bit. Same levels since day one

I do the same. I have tried upping my feedings as well ( only have 2 clowns and they seem to barely eat so the rest goes to the CUC) but I find I have to keep dosing nitrate to stay at 5-10ppm and my Torches have been loving it as well. My chaeto is definitely doing its job a little too well.I dose potassium nitrate. Because food creates phosphates faster than nitrates, you are creating a different problem. I dose pretty heavily because my cheato just tears through it..but my corals are happy.

You're underfeeding. It's whatever the fish can eat in 2 minutes. Start at one minute. Go slowly. I also only like to eat a cracker per day as I swim 24/7
