 Dusty and Cob Webs ? My salt water tank (29) looks as if it has thick dust all over the rocks and if I disturb the tank(i.e. pouring water) it stis up some cob web looking stuff that eventually will settle......You can see a little of the cob web in this picture as well as the dust. What can I put in to clean it up?   |

| Re: Dusty and Cob Webs ? Do you have any turbos in there? My guess is snail poop. Try to get another pump in for more turbidity. The more circulation, the less it accumalates. |

| Re: Dusty and Cob Webs ? Jabo, Nice pic!  I have three power heads with foam prefilters that I have going in different directions in a 65 gallon tank. The foam catches alot of excess food and detritus which flows into it through uptake into the powerhead. So I rinse these out every few days. Plus once a week I like to take my turkey baster and squirt water on the rocks from close range to dust them off. Do you have enough current to avoid "dead space" where dust can accumulate? Also do you keep a cleaner crew going over the rock, like blue legged hermit crabs, etc.? c-c |
