Somthing new in my glass

[Porkchop95]

So I was doing my weekly cleaning and noticed all these pink fuzzy dots on my glass any one have an idea what I’m dealing with

And Ive got more clear strings of I’m Calling a slime somes in my sand and others on my rocks ... what am I dealing with here

Dots are jelly fish hydroids, normal phase in newer tank. Harmless, they'll go away in a week or 2. The stringy sand is likely from the slime left by snails. If you have snails that is. They'll decentigrate and not be a problem. All normal new tank stuff!

Could be those sand dwelling tube worms (the name escapes me). Harmless though.

Yes I have a handful of sand snails and just to check so I’m worried about nothing that will go away in time ?

Sounds like diatoms. Very normal in a newer tank. Just monitor your parameters and keep up on wcs and they wont be an issue.
