worms on the glass!!!

[frankb]

I have hundreds of tiny white worms on the inside of the aquarium glass. I have tried a ton of different medications. Copper and Clout see to supress them the most. BUT THEY ALWAYS COME BACK! They now to be even more resistant to treatment (coming back faster or not fully dissapating). The copper keeps making my triggers eyes puffy as well. HOW DO I GET RID OF THEM??

Most SW worms are harmless.

Are they little white dots on the glass? Because if they are I had them. I went to my lfs and got the medication. It fixed it right away. You should do that to.

I know that being a beginner, and see little white things crawling all over the tank, it can be a little scary. I remember the first time I saw them, my first thought was OMG its ich and they have matured. I quickly learned their true ID. I felt really silly but if you don't ask questions, you will never know the answers. you did the right thing by asking. Listen to the replies and you will get through it. Don't worry, almost every new person asks the same question.

Thanks for your help. If they will not harm the fish i will just keep cleaning them of the glass I guess.
