    They are the white dots and they're everywhere. Im thinking snail eggs, but of course thats a guess from a very uneducated aquarium enthusiasts.

    They look like Nerite snail eggs. Most likely will not hatch though. We don't have the conditions they need to hatch in out tanks.

    I thought they were snail eggs. They are all over. About 4 times a week I see a different patch somewhere in the tank.

    by the looks of my tank you would think I was playing Marvin Gaye songs from the computer all night. They must be pretty "busy"

    They are at first, but after a few months they seem to settle down IME.

    Yeah, they look like nerite snail eggs. I hated them. I had a hundred on the glass every week and I finally took the snails back and got more nassarius snails. No eggs on the glass and I love they way the pop up out of the sand...
