Mitrillion Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 So lately I have noticed a lot of white particles In my tank? Thoughts on this? Is it just sand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Could be sand. Could be part of that glue you just used, or the glue that broke apart with your rock work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashy Fins Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Could be tisbe copepods, but you should be able to squint and tell if that is the case. They're clear with tiny little legs that are usually flailing about when they find themselves in the water column, as they are used to crawling on the glass and rocks and don't really swim. I have so many, they crawl onto the power heads and soon find themselves blown around the tank. Sand is more likely, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisQ Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Raise your mag, if im correct, is this not precip from low mag levels? If the mag is too low the calcium can't be used. Sorry i can't get all scientific with my wording. Edited April 19, 2015 by ChrisQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
