White spots on glass ID Plz - Aquarium Advice

gimincorp · 05-01-2008, 11:47 PM

Hello, I have white spots appearing on my fish tank´s glass. The largest ones are a bit less than a dime in largest dimention.
Food for thought: I have turbo snails in my tank, could it be their eggs? Or are these just salt/calcium deposits and should be cleaned off? P.S. This is a SW setup with Clown fish, Damsel, turbo snails, Anemone, and Aptesias (?), of caurse live rock / live sand.

Looks like coraline algea to me, it shows a good health and maturing tank.

Definitley coraline, though I see some white dots on the coraline too. If those are what you are talking about they defiintley look like snail eggs.

I agree that it`s Corraline algea.

My ammonia is too high (.25)

Did something die or are you possibly overfeeding?
Try a 25% PWC to get the ammonia back to 0.
