Having a trouble with dust.

[saltwaterbeginners]

Can someone help me how to remove dusts?

On the surface of the water? Do you have a lid?

 

[Massimo]

That's protein buildup. Surface skimming would get rid of it.

 

[saltwaterbeginners]

No I don't have lid. Surface skimming?

 

[Massimo]

It cleans the top of the water. Look it up on the Internet or smtg I dont know how to explain it properly

 

[saltwaterbeginners]

Thanks guys.

Mine gets cleaned by my overflow.

 

[saltwaterbeginners]

Overflow what?

 

[Spotted]

Overflow into my sump.

 

[saltwaterbeginners]

But I have only 3gallons

 

[Darylb]

I don't think you should have a clown in a 3 gal

 

[Bectan01]

+1 to that ^

 

[Darylb]

I want one for my 9 gal but even that is to small 20 gal is the minimum

Try dragging a paper towel across the top of the water and roll it up as you get to the end of the tank. The particles will stay on the towel.

Place a power head or the return closer to the top of the water line so it creates a small vortex that will suck the stiff back into the water where your skimmer has a better chance to get it out. Also I used to Getty three same stuff in a freshwater tank. I positioned my return spray bar do that it was above the water line and that got rid of it too.

Wow I am so happy to here all of you. Somebody said I can have only one in 3 gallon tank.

take a shot glass hold it between your fingers
put it into the center of the tank just till the water starts slowly flowing in remove it just before it fills to the top it will act like a mini skimmer
