worms?

[dwinzent]

what are these things? the biggest ones are about 1/8th in but i have alot of them. when i use scotch brite on them they come off kinda powdery and i can also use a razorblade to get them off easily but what should i do to get rid of them?

its a feather worm, they won't hurt anything. Just scrape them off the front of your glass.

Those are common in new systems.They'll eventually die out as the tank matures.

Just scrape them off. They are totally harmless.

Use a scrubber aquarium pad to take them off. That way you can rinse them down the drain.
