Hi everyone... newby here... been a lurker here for almost 3 months, started my planted freshwater tank last Feb (20 G), and now trying my luck on saltwater (10 G). I started to put up my FOWLS saltwater last month without a sump or skimmer with canister filter, NSW, and LS 1 blue fin damsel, its on its 6th week now. Bubbles (damsel) survived the cycling... decided to add new LS yesterday - 1 hermit crab, 1 N snail, 1 chocolate starfish, and 5 fishes (4 damsels and 1 nemo) - guess this is too much for a 10G huh... fishes are 1 inch except for nemo - and planning to get a bigger tank in the future... also added a resun skimmer - problem - water is cloudy with lots of pods (white termite-like insect) and white dandelion seed like thingie- dont know what it is , and sand is turning brown -- is it too much bacteria?
