Clear water??

[yuyiboy]

Hi again guys;
I was just looking at my tank and can't seem to get rid of the fine little particulate matter floating all over the tank!!
What do you guys do to get rid of them?? I thought it was micro bubbles from the pump or skimmer but they are not.
Can you give me any suggestions?? It's not DIRTY or gross just annoying, because I want nice clear water.

thanks

filter sock in sump should work however i have heard they catch the fine foods that corals feed from.

I just noticed something.....
A lot of the specks are landing on the glass by the sand and have started to WALK
I had a feeling that it was some form of food now I need to know which one they are. LOL

It most be some pod of some kind.
As for the NON EDIBLE specks..... how fine a sock would you recommend? they come in various grades. ???

Thanks for the help.

the walkin specks r pods. the more the merrier.

my filter socks r 100 micron (i think). you could also take micro mesh(sold in cut-to-fit sheets) and stand them up right before baffles in your sump. a buudy of mine did that, worked great.

Thanks Phish Guy;
The pods are having a great time because there are no fish in there yet LOL
Yeah the ones I found online are 100 microns.
Thanks for the info.
