Need help and advise pls...


Recommended Posts

I saw a quite a number of very tiny white ant-lookalike creatures moving on the wall and bare botton of my 2 weeks setup tank.

Also has some white hariy 'algae' on the wall of my tank.

Could the kind soul of experts pls advise what are those stuffs and how to get rid of it?

Are they abnormal or unkind stuffs to my tanks and my currently one inhabitants of clownfish?

helps and advises much appreciated...

oo u already got livestock inside your tank while its in cycling stage.

i think those tiny white ant like things are pods, its harmless, some fishes feed on them.

as for your algae, think its high phosphate? u got a test kit for it? u sure its algae? cause i never heard of white algae :rolleyes:

thanks for the advise.

The whitish hairy thing sticking on the wall of the tank doesnt seems like algae on closer look, its like tiny spot of hair thatfloat and swing with the current of the water in the tank.

using scrapper or brush and it could easily be removed. even by fingers...

any idea what are those?

Does it means that i shoul just leave the tiny white ant-lookalike creatures as it is or try yo clear them out?

Will it grow into bigger things that will occupy in the tank and endanger livestock?

Pls advise.

no coral, just LR. one pc of rock only in my nano tank and one clownfish, that's all.

water has been cycled and changed on 20 -30% weekly to reduce parameters. now at low and stable results after 3 weeks.

saw the white ant-lookalike creatures moving around and whit hairy things. The LR bought was claimed to be cured at LFS by the owner.

no abnormility fond on body of clownfish so far and it is feeding well.

any advise?
