Id please. My tank is covered with these

[Malakh]

White net all around rocks, didn't see any worms. Started since I have noticed copepods. White in the water, pink jelly (not sticky) when outout. Thank you. Tried to google it but no success .

Take the rock out of the water and smell it. You may vomit. That looks like live rock die off. If that is the case that needs to be cured for at least a month, 2or 3 is better, in a separate container before being placed with livestock. That will 100% kill absolutely every living thing in your tank if that is the case.

Welcome to Reef2Reef! From some of the pictures it looks possibly like bacteria.. listing full tank details and water parameters will help others give you some definitive answers.

Do they ever go away? Looks like a sweeper

 

[Softhammer]

Hmmm, definitely looks like a bacteria slime from rock cycling but clearly it isn’t. I would increase water movement and stop dosing bacteria type stuff and save the vodka for the cocktail shaker with some ice. You don’t want to fuel that sludge until it’s under control.

Few days ago I have cleared everything, dipped all rock in coral rx and it disapeared for 1 day. It comes off very easy but coming back.

Hello @Malakah & welcome to R2R ! I agree, with Retro. I'm certainly not an expert on this. However it does look like a bacteria of some type. we need some more info like age & size of the tank . Parameters etc. I will guess & say the nutrient levels ( No3,Po4 ) are low.
We need to know what kinda light maybe a pic of the filtration. How about flow . Stuff like that.

Thanks ! All good info ! I expected low Po4 also. I don't think I'd be dosing anything .

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

It’s the nopox and vodka. Stop and it’ll go away.
Those are bacterial colonies.

 

[reef lover]

Welcome to r2r!! I agree stop dosing and let it subside.

 

[Malakh]

Thank you very much. Stopped dosing and it's all gone now.

Wow. Good news. Just be aware that 90 plus percent of these magic bottles of stuff are like vitamins. Totally unneeded. I have run a successful reef with zero crashes ever for closing in on 20 years now and I use none of this stuff. Nature balances itself to a certain extent. Although once I did try the bio pellets that have seem to fallen out of favor. My results, a massive cyano outbreak. I pulled the pellets and within a few days all was back to normal again.
