Problem! Need advice

Set up a new tank. Used 85-90% Marco Dry rock and the balance some well established live rock. Everything has been fine, all parameters are perfect. I added some chaeto to the fuge. Come home from work the next day and I have this white slimy crap all over everything. ONLY things in the tank are a cleaner wrasse and some snails.

Any idea what it may be? Tried taking pics but they are not turning out right to show anything.

sounds to me like a bacteria bloom. should go away within a couple days.

running carbon should help.
how long has the tank been set up?

Tank has been set up for about 2 weeks. The rock is from another tank that has been up for a long time. I have just never seen this white slimy snot looking like stuff before. I will be hooking up the carbon reactor tonight. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply!
