    Hello forum.. New to this site but not to reef tanks..however I have encountered some strange white slime/sludge on the silicon. I resealed my tank using DAP 100% clear silicon. Let it cure for 5 days before filling tank. Tank is now 2 weeks running. Tonight while cleaning I scrubbed this stuff off. I did use API 3 day cycle. My main concern is that my clown tang ate some before I could suck this stuff out.( I know 2 weeks is early for a fish of this kind. My wife bought it with out me their. He's been doing great otherwise.) Any an all comments or advice please give them.

    can you get a picture of what concerns you? How big is your tank?

    It has not grown back since cleaning the the tank. My clown tang is doing fine as well. I have a 180gal. I will get some pics today when the lights come on. This is my first tank over 75gal.
