Please tell me what is in my Filter ??!!

[pos_user]

These things werent here 2 weeks ago when i cleaned the sponge.

 

Can someone tell me what the hell these white, fluffy balls are? They were attached the Filter wall (plastic) and I moved one of them. What the hell is this?

 

Thanks.

 

 

PS. The white specs you see in the filter, against the plastic seems to be some kind of feather duster outbreak. Dont worry about that, take a look at the cotton ball like things in there.

Thanks.

If i were a sponge i would want to live there, food brought to you =)

[pos_user]

good point. just sit back and relax...and the food comes rollin in.

 

i might take out the sponge for good, not sure though.

I have the same things, they seem to like it dark. I call them Q-Tip sponges, a name I picked up here.

ok good, i new it was a sponge, but i wasnt really sure how to react when i found them in my filter. Didndt know if that area was a good place for them or if they were going to pollute the tank.

 

 

Thanks guys.
