    So I just realized that my tank has all kinds of spider web gunk growing throughout my tank. The strands ahve bubbles on them... What is it? Does it have to do with nitrification (i have high nitrates and nitrites right now due to overpopulation I think)

    check your phosphates as well
    I will assume your tank hasint been running long you have high nitrites and nitrates,

    1, How many fish if any do you have ?
    2, If so how many in the tank ?
    3, how much live rock do you have in "pnds" est/ ?

    5, any "notible" coraline ?
