sounds like detritus worm, harmless but an eye sore.... feeding much less will def get rid of them... I'm pretty sure prazipro will kill them as well but I don't recommend treating just for this - feed much less and keep up on water changes, they will go away before you know it and you'll save...

if you have a diatom problem, i think that means you have a plenty of nitrate and phosphates in your water, i wouldn't add flourish or excel - nor would i be using c02 yet. Light is the most important thing for your plants right now, a two bulb 6500k - 10k t5 would do great. Keep up on water...

hi, I'm no expert but it looks like Hexamita to me, id try to feed him only New Life Spectrum Hex Shield, dose the tank with seachem stressguard or something similar and keep water conditions pristine.

Tank size: 65 gal pH: 7.5 ammonia: 0 nitrite: 0 nitrate: 20 - 30 tank temp: 78f run a 36w UV light (bulbs are changed every 6 months) Hi, I started a new (cycled) 65 gallon planted aquarium.. one of my puffers had these little white spots on only his fins which i thought was ich so i raised the...
