Perhaps one of your corals spawned. Hopefully something isn't precipitating out of your water column!

To me the usual suspects are: micro bubbles, sand, detritus, coral or clam spawn.

Usually this can be caused by too heavy a dose or dosing carbonates in conjunction or too close together.

Any possibility?

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
