I'm not sure if this belongs in the f/w equipment section of the forum or not. So if it's in the wrong section, feel free to move it mods.
I've noticed some semi-translucent yellow'ish slug/slime growing on the filter intake and on the tubing going to the filter. I just took the filter apart to wash it and I noticed some on the inner tubing where it connects with the pump. I'm currently using a Red Sea Nano Filter (http://www.bigalsonline.com/StoreCa...rclear?&query=nano+filter&queryType=0&offset=). I'm not sure if it was a bad thing or good thing, but it seemed like a bad sign of poor water quality or something even if I do frequent water changes. I also noticed white dust like specs on the glass surface that moved if I went near it with a long knife I use to chop of frozen fish food. Any idea what these white specs are? Current lifestock in the 2.5 gallon tank is a single betta and red cherry shrimp in a breeder trap.
Any input guys?
The only recent change in the tank was it was orginally a betta tank but my gf surprised me with cherrys for a valentines day gift so the breeders net is a temporary home until I set up a spare 10 gallon in progress. I also recently started using API Stress Zime as someone suggested that it helps the shrimp in a new tank.
