I have a small res.(5 gal) and I found this around the air stone and it has a very slimy texture to it. Looks like it’s bad for the plants, or am I just over worried??
Bacteria culture or algae?

Diatoms! I hate them easy enough to get rid off though.
These unicellular algae generally placed in the family Bacillariophyceae thrives in low light conditions. Further, since the cell wall is predominantly silicate and these organisms proliferate in water that has a silicate concentration high enough to support diatom growth
Use beneficial fungi that eats it up! And an enzyme that converts organic debris into food for the beneficial!
I use tarantula from Advanced Nutrients
And sensizym
But other products are just as good go too your local hydro shop see what’s available..
Here is what happen with me, and how I cleared it up using those exact steps.

I was gonna use this as a last resort.
I would say it’s unnecessary unless price is a huge factor but apparently it is much stronger which may have adverse effects..

so for the time being all I could afford was some great white. I was told by the guy at the shop that it should help. Also by the end of this week I should be able to get some sensizym

That’s perfect encompasses what the other products do just differing values in the beneficial bacterium/fungi
Which really after it infects the system it will multiple on its own. Add some molasses later on carbo load for the beneficial don’t over do it or you can get a big bloom. But blooms aren’t bad as long as it doesn’t out compete the plant.

So after a few days that is what the res looks like. I have placed it in a dark area removing all light sources.
