Hi all,

I wanted to know what kind of filtration you use on your tank.  The reason I ask is we have a 75G fish only setup, with overflow, a wet/dry sump, and a protein skimmer and we always have little particles floating around in our water.  At first I thought that they were bubbles, that's how small they are.  I look at pics here on the forum and in tanks at the stores and no one else has them.

I still wouldnt rule out bubbles. They are usually the culprit.

If not - You may want to try a filter sock on your drain from your display. May help resolve it.

Sweet!  A filter sock, don't have one of those yet.  That's the kind of answer I'm lookin' for! 

For clarification - some of the "floaties" may be micro bubbles, but the vast majority are definitely not.  I think they're stuff kicked up by my diamond goby.
