White slime on electrical cords in new tank

[Carolyn1]

Hi everyone...

I have set up a ten gallon nano the other day. As I await my live rock I put in a couple of pieces of large rubble just to have something more than saltwater in the tank.

Yesterday I stuck my hand in the tank to move a powerhead. There was a clear/white slime all over the cord. I have never seen that before!

The only thing I can think of is that the two pieces of medium sized LR rubble has some sponge material on them and perhaps this slime is a result of sponge die off.

???

Weird...

Thanks.

This is common and can be caused by many things, such as bacteria or protozoan. It's nothing to be concerned about

Mostly bacteria. Nothing to worry about.
