About Aquasafe for fish tank...?

Question

I already asked this question but I am putting it in more detail.

I just purchased a fish tank today. I know nothing about how to set up a fish tank but I managed to do it anyways. I added the water and accessories and after about 10 minutes of letting it filter I added Aquasafe. After a while, at the corners of the fish tank, there something started to appear. It was clearish-whitish (I'm not really good at describing things).

I washed the stones I put in the tank before I put it in the tank. I washed the tank too. I don't have any gravel in the tank, no fish either.

I wanted to know if that is how the fish tank is supposed to be or did I do something wrong.

Sounds like you may have used a little too much Aquasafe. Now comes the hard part it will be a few weeks before your tank is cycled. Do a little research about this phase of aquarium culture. The best method is to do "fish-less" cycling. it takes longer to actually put fish in the tank,but there is no ammonia torture for your fish to suffer.
The gooey stuff is the component of the Aquasafe that protects the fishes slime coat,and if you had used the right amount it would have been barely noticeable. It's nothing to worry about. Good luck on the research,and if you have more questions some-one will be here to help.
