I just noticed that I have alot of white stuff looks like sand on my rocks. I dont have any live rocks they are just plain rocks.I dont know what this is. I have been fighting ich in my tank with Kent Rxp but dont know if this ich or something else? So know I question if I actually have ich or if its this?It is also on the shell of my hermit crab?:rolleyes:

I am not sure exactly what your problem is (a pic would help) but it is definately not ich. Ich is a parasite and therefor only lives on fish so it will not grow on your rock or hermit shells.

It is probably just dust from things boring into the rock or some marine mold. I wouldn't worry about either really. If it is mold it will go away on its own and won't harm the livestock unless they are already immunocompromised.
