Disgusting brown goo
Christy,
I was one who told you to change your lighting. Sorry. Wish it had helped. Now that I see a pic I'd go with Dino's as well.
Here is what I will suggest.
Boost the alk if you can.
Skimming is important. big time.
RO/DI.
Removal by hand. Water changes.
Circulation. Get some more powerheads in there. Two hagen 302's isn't enough. Increase circ somehow.
Diatoms don't form mats like you are showing there. So I wouldn't add more snails. You'd be at risk of losing them. Snails don't eat dino's. It can kill them tho.
Diatoms can get thick. but don't form that slime you have.
My biggest suggestions are two. Circulation and Skimming.
keep us posted
