I can easily blow it off with a turkey baster but it keeps coming back. Not sure what it is. Tank is 6 months old 14g IM Nuvo. Parameters are
Dkh 7.9
PO4 .07
NO3 8
Ca 430
Mg 1400
Ph 8.0
Sal 1.025
Temp 78-79
I have 4 nassarrius snails, 3 trochus, 2 cerith, 2 scarlet hermits, 1 brittle star, 1 pistol shrimp, 1 yellow watchman goby, and 2 clowns.
 
Do you see little air bubbles on it? Looks like dinos but I'm not 100% sure. Did you remove any rock or biomedia recently ? That's the only thing I would guess would cause dinos since your parameters are ok. Nice thing about the nuvo tanks is that innovative marine makes uv sterilizer for them

I’ve seen a few bubbles but not sure if that’s related to the (presumably) Dino’s or not. I did move some sand recently because my pistol built a massive hill. Thinking this may be the cause. I have an IM UV sterilizer on the way. Hopefully this will help to kick it. Thank you!
 
My other guess would be cyano if its in clumps but I would see what someone else says too
 
Does it seem to go away at night?
I actually blacked out over the weekend. Amazing what a change it made. It’s seems to be nearly gone and my glass was the cleanest it’s been in weeks.
