What is this?

[geek]

OK, my 220 has been going for about 7 months and I have some things growing in my tank, but mostly in my overflows. Can anyone tell me what the tube like thigs are, and also what the spiral things are? Like I said they are mostly in my overflows, but there are some in my tank, and in my sump. Thanks.

q-tip sponges.

q-tip sponge and spirorbid worms. Both will come and go with available nutrients.

Are they something to worry about? If so, how do I get rid of them?

+1, both are good signs you are doing something right
