My question is that i keep getting these brown dots that spread on the inside of my glass, and then these brown strings form and then detach from the glass into the water flow.
My water quality is good.
The pH is 8.2, Nitrite is 0, Nitrate is 2, Ammonia is 0.
Temperature ranges from 77.5 - 78.8
Here are some pics:
I am not sure if these pictures are clear enough, I took them from the side to get a picture looking inside at it. The 1st picture the brown dots forming towards the bottom of the glass. The 2nd picture is the hair like formations.

Well, it could be a type of nuisance algae, a hydroid, or maybe a tiny feather duster. I'm thinking the first one, but I just can't make it out from your pictures.
If you can get a better picture that is larger (just the subject, not all of the stuff around it while not distorting the image), I'll try again or you can as this question in "Ask Dr Ron"'s forum.

Hi tenscott,
[welcome]
I'm glad my site was worthy of a bookmark. You'll find tons of stuff stashed within its domain on the web. Hidden Treasure is a page that sorts all the webpages on my site into categories.
RC (Reef Central) is the best place to go for help with your tank. Read, read, and read some more and then make your best choices before you spend the money. You can ask others for help before making a purchase to avoid wasting money on sub-par equipment or livestock that has little chance of survival in a tank. Just because the LFS (local fish store) sells it doesn't mean you'll be able to keep it alive.

Marc,
First let me say... Wonderful! This has been ultimately helpful in my search for the species in my tank. Being new, and finding so many new little surprises in my tank, this site has helped me so much!
Can I submit a photo that I don't know whaton earth it is? I have a couple new things in my tank that I happened to get along with 'true purchase' (a live rock with sun polyps) and was wondering if someone could tell me what they are. I know one is some type of mushroom, I think Ricordia, but am not sure...

Of course you can, Kimberly. Keep an eye on the ID page btw, because I'm working on redoing it in the coming weeks. Soon each category will be its own page, with a list of possible predators or pests to watch out for. It will be a work in progress, but I hope it will help others even more.

Well, here they are. I hope I did this right; I'm sorry they are a bit blurry, but I have not yet mastered the art of taking photos of inside my tank.
I hope they are clear enough to at least be able to tell what they are.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Hmm. Neither one is very easy for me to ID. The first one... does it stay in that spot? Does it every look soft and somewhat puffy? It almost looks like a single polyp of acanthastrea. The second one might be an aiptasia, but it actually looks more like a tiny leather coral that is straining for light. Can you try taking a couple more pictures please?
