I got floaties

[Anonymous]

This is actually a good thing. I though I was having micro-bubble issues and was planning to redo my sump until I really look at them. Should I worry about this? Will it eventually clear up due to skimming and wate changes. Should I get somthing to try to filter them out? If so what?

Do you mean that collection of oily protein at the surface?

Nope, particulats. I got lots of surface agitation and skimming. I got the film you mentioned in my sump. I scoop that out.

I have a lot of that, too. You could try a filter sock, but it's a pain in the but constantly switching and cleaning them on a weekly basis.

I've got the Particulates From Hell on my new tank, nothing and I mean nothing seems to get rid of them. But for most tanks it's not a problem. If you really want to get rid of them, there's a bunch of ways that mostly work. Filter socks, a magnum canister running a micron cartridge, even a simple aquaclear power filter. Chemically you can try Kent Marine's Pro-Clear if you want, which clumps the particulates. I've used it, it is reef safe.

Poop bombs. Always happens when he gets fed. The turning around to try and eat it is real attractive too.
