LEG-IT Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 hi, well something is odd does anyone have trouble with this also, well on my airline tubing a white flaky coat is always stuck on, looks normal until you move it than it just comes pouring down, just wondering what is it and how do i prevent and get rid off, its definatley not a disease, been like that for months, but is getting up my nerves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priscacara Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 could still be a calcium or other mineral buildup, usually some near the top of mine where it exits the water but have also had it on the tube in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citypainter Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Sounds like them tiny little white worms that appear after over feeding. They are always in the tank but usually the numbers are low enough to conceal them in the gravel. But when there is an abundance of excess food they have population explosions Back off on the food and they dissappear overnight. Do they look like tiny white hairs?
