I don't have a problem with any slime - just a hard grainy crust. If it dries it turns white or off-white. When wet it actually feels a bit like sandpaper. I have seen this in other people's collections as well as my own - in three different locations in this country, with different enough water quality between these locations that I do not suspect my tap water to be the culprit.

Any slime I have ever seen goes away with a good antibacterial dish soap.

Thanks for your input.
