My gf has a fairly new 20 gal reef tank. It is about 2 months old, maybe a little bit older. A couple weeks ago she started getting the sluge of a clear bubbly substance at the top of the water. You cant get it out with a net but I did do a water change and got it all out.
A couple days later and it is back....yay! not.... anyone have any ideas?
also her tank fogs up a lot and doesnt go away. Ive clean the outside with vinegar, it just comes right back in about 30 mins or so...Thats really annoying. I can barely in the tank sometimes....

Try aiming a power head at the surface of the water.
+1, this is important as that sludge will inhibit gas exchange in your tank. Do you have any type of filter on the tank?

tried that. seems to push it aside. Maybe i just dont have enough flow period.

Leave it alone and let it agitate the surface for a few days and do a water change. It will go away.
