I'm not even close to being certain but the stringy stuff could be some kind of slime mold?
The long bead looking thing of white stuff is, I believe, snail eggs. |

I could be totally wrong. It just looks exactly like what a friend of mine had in his tank and the LFS sent a guy out to look at it and said that's what it was.

The thicker ones are snail eggs.

I get this sometimes. To me, it seems to be very minute particles stuck to snail slime. Only happens to my tank near the bottom, and always after the snails have been past.

I don't think it's too serious. How's your skimmer? Good skimmer? Operating well?

I'd say just keep the circulation high, make sure you agitate the surface (powerhead or the like) and you should be ok. These kind of blooms happen, but usually don't develop if the surface is stirred.
