water question???????

[scubagreek]

I have what looks like little dust particles floating in my tank. I wonder if its just house hold dust or maybe the corals are releasing something, and how do I get rid of it??? I know water change, but did anyone else ever run into this problem? Maybe the people coming to my open house on Saturday can help.

Thanks, Steve

micro bubbles maybe ??

no, I don't think it's that

Corals and some other reef animals do release stuff, usually gametes.

Could be just dust. If you don't have a lot of surface flow then its probably just tank surfactants. I would suggest redirecting flow if you can... Shouldn't be much to worry about.

going to try that , everything looks good just not as clear as it was

I have the same stuff in my tank too. I don't think it's micro bubbles though - at least not what I see in mine. and I have it all of the time.
