Hi folks.
I bought some Bio Spira to put in my 50 Gallon FOWLR and now it looks like there are little white bugs all over the acrylic. Any idea of what these might be? they were not there before I put in the Bio Spira.

I can't tell they are really tiny about the size of the head if a pencil. They look like little spiders or mites.

Just scroll down and match you critter to the picture, then it's ID'd.
when you say "head of a pencil", are you talking the "eraser" or the "point"?
Do they move?
I doubt they came from the biospira bottle...they're either copepods, snail eggs, or Spirobids, if I had to take a guss from your photo.

Thanks for that link! I will bookmark that one. They are the size of the pencil tip you write with. I think they are floating in the water also but they are so small I can only really focus on them when they are on the glass.
