oh, alright.

most of them seem white, there are not *clouds* of them, but there are plenty, they look a bit like micro-bubbles, but you can tell them apart a bit by how they move.

they dont seem to vary with time too much, well....I dunno, I notice them more when the lights are on in the tank of course. I have tried looking with a flashlight at night, but I dont think it illuminates the particles in the same way.

the particles seem light weight by how they hover a bit in the water. some the are small, I would say maybe 1mm long at most. (and v. narrow) but there are some that seem more circular in dimension.

on there glass there are some crawlies, so those could be some of them I guess. The refuqium runs reverse lighting, and there is no mechanical filtration between the sump and the tank.

is there something natural I could use to filter these out of the water?
