white specks

[reefimpaired101]

I have had a fish only tank for like 5 years now i am going reef i still have alot of work to do. I have these white specks on the back of my aquarium. My calcium levels are a little high around 520. any ideas?

I have a 29 gallon with 2 skillters phosphate reactor digital thermoter 130 watt power compact with 10000k and actnic bulbs I am about to set up a refgium. A guy at my local fish store gave me some sps frags and they are actually growing i have probably twenty pounds of live rock which is curing pretty well i just started using ro fresh water from my fish store i can tell a huge difference. Any suggestions on anything would be great thanks alot

probably copepods or micro tube worms, either way good thing.

try to get a pic... most of the time white specs on the glass in my case are snail eggs, but I'd want to see them to give any specific ideas.

what kind of corals are you hoping to keep? that would help in providing equipment advice, but I would recommend a skimmer to start. do you have on already?

mostly polyps amd mushrooms and i have two skiltters that i run right now they have built in skimmers but i want to make refgium and i might get a different filter setup space is limited though so is money right now, i havent had time to post pics. i will have them in a few hours i just joined rc yesterday
