Hi,
My tank is about 4 months old. 77 gallons with 2 koralia 4's and 1 maxijet 1200. I thought that would be lots of flow... Maybe I'll try just moving stuff around a bit. Yes it mostly blows off with the turkey baster. About a month ago I removed all my substrate and it's been collecting on my rocks ever since.  Aside from waiting for the filter to pick it up, is there any sort of critter that will help it along? Thanks, Nicole

if you took the sand out that is probably what it is. When I used to take apart the rocks in the tnak and move them around I would get that sort of hairy brownish grey crap on the rocks. If its not a hassel take the rock out scrub the rocks or shake the heck out of it in a bucket of water......
no one said that Salt water hobby was easy there is always something to do  mike

Thanks guys. I grabbed some turbo snails today, so I'll see what happens. If not I may have to take out all the rock and scrub. I just HATE doing that- not because it's time consuming, but because it stresses out my fish. *sigh*

Bah! Just use a turkey baster a few times a day...your filters will pluck it out of the water if it's suspended. Also siphon it off when you do your waterchanges. Hermit crabs (the lesser of the evils is the Scarlet) will help more than snails will that's for sure.
