Ok yesterday i changed my filter from a Whisper 30-60 to a Marineland 350 bio wheel. Its a 30 gallon tank btw. Today i go check all my levels and i notice that i have dog hair in my tank. Now i have seen it in there before, but now its a lot since i was adjusting and playing with the filter. I tried getting it out with a net, but it seems like for every 1 hair i get i put 2 more in. I tried a lint roller on the net but that didn't seem to help. I have 5 dogs now and there isn't much in my house thats immune from dog hair. My big question is, how bad can dog hair be for a saltwater tank? I would imagine that since its just dead skin cells that it would be broken down and cause a small spike in ammonia, but im not sure. Also, the new filter makes a pretty big stream of bubbles once it hits the water. Propably about 5 inches deep is a good amount of bubbles. Is this bad? I have read mixed reviews on bubbles, some saying all it does is burst and throw your salt from the water, but i don't know. Also, i am getting little white dots all over the back of my tank on the inside. Can someone give me a hint to what these are. Sorry i kinda jumbled it all together, ill make a list of my q's.
1. How bad is dog hair for a marine tank?
2. I have bubbles, are they bad?
3. Whats the little white dots on the inside of my tank?
Thanks for any help you can give.
