im having the same problem. I have really good flow. Could me having to change bulbs be the cause for this slime outbreak?
and my clam wont open I saw its mantle was curled up a few days ago

50g DT ,20g sump, skimmer 2 korilla powerheads both at 1200gph and a rio17
return pump

You're going to have to start from scratch. List all water parameters, type of equipment, age of tank, age and type of bulbs, any recent changes or additions. The clam is a clue that no, you are not having the same problem.
