Also turn off the lights and if you could "black out" cover your tank for a few days will help also

I think the best thing would be to make the water flow more—check your parameters too.
Creo que lo mejor sería hacer que el agua tenga más flujo y checa tus parametros

Increase your flow, try to save chemiclean for a last resort, do a black out, increase your flow and see if it helps.

It’s called red flap. Cyano bacteria. It happens due to an imbalance in your water parameters. Flow is good, and only in real emergencies use Chemi Clean.
Het heet rode flap. Cyano bacterie. Komt door een onbalans in je water waardes. Stroming is goed en bij echte noodzaak chemi clean.

Thanks for the help everyone! I blacked out the tank for a couple days and it took care of it. The eel did eat a clownfish though so I moved the other to a quarantine tank so he didn’t become a snack. My canister filter did overflow so now my tank is half full and the carpet is drying out so I’m filling it up when the carpet is dry so in 2 hours. Wish me luck🤞
