    Hi everyone,

    I'm new to the salty stuff and i think i already have a problem. I noticed today some odd white dots about the size of a pepper corn all over the back pane of glass and also on snails shells. I don't want to panic over nothing but i think i have fungus! I have a few pictures that i took kinda hard to focus on the dots but you can see what i mean.

    If i got fungus how do you treat that? I have just inherited this tank and am not sure what i have or how to deal with it. I just did a water test and it looks good.

    Looks like Nerite egg capsules to me. No fungus.
