White Slime

[RenHoek104]

Hey all,
So far my tank has been a nightmare. It started with ammonia spikes after the cycle was over, zoas that refuse to open and now I have this strange white slime over some of my rocks. I went to two stores, one said it's a sponge and the other has no idea, but told me the lack of live rock is probably a problem. He also told me to test my water for phosphates, which I did and I got 0ppm. While we are on the subject, NO2=NO3=NH3=0, pH = 8.2, NaCl= 1.024, Ca= 480, KH=11 and that's about it. I have no idea what's going on inside. I've found baby nassarius snails, which is cool, but everything else is going wrong. My blue gudgeon is also showing signs of wear and tear. I don't know why, but still. I've added pictures of the slime to hopefully get an answer. Thanks guys,
Ren

looks like a bacteria film, are you carbon dosing ?

+1 are you running bio pellets

No carbon nor bio pellets.

I did, however, use some Kent Tech-I, Kent Coral Accel and Kent Coral-Vite. I used a half dose only, to be safe.

I was also told by a local reefer, it might be due to the lack of live rock in the tank. Does that make any sense? I only have 15 lbs of live rock in a 30 gallons tank. I think I'll go pick up some more tomorrow morning.
