 particles floating I have a 92 gallon. The past 3 weeks there are particles floating. I have a wet/dry and skimmer. They look like lint thats the only way i can describe it. Plus I have cynoall over my sand. I have 2 clowns, feather duster, snail, hermit crabs, gobey, mushrooms and an anomone that just died for some onknown reason. I clean my filters always (the sponge square). Should I clean my bioballs too? They look pretty clean. I have metal halide, light are on 10 hours a day and feed every other day. HELP anyone????  |

| Re: particles floating Yes check your levels.another suggestion might be buy i finer filter pad in stead of the old blue and white pad,buy filter pad that aloows 50-100 micron filtration.plus it never goes bad.just wash your pieces in the washing machine with no soap once a week. |

| Re: particles floating Did you check phosphate levels as well? When was the last time you cleaned your balls?
