I'm not sure if this goes in this area, but I found a few 'fuzz' looking balls in my tank. I don't see them very often, and when I do I pick them out. I could almost describe it as a smaller version of a spider egg nest thing.. but not exactly. That probably doesn't make any sense. haha. But I was just wondering if anyone knew what it could be.
Also, how often should I deep clean the tank and what ways can I go about that?
Fuzz???

Re: Fuzz???
I don't have time right now to look it up, but a couple years ago I do remember a crabber having blackish type fuzzy balls in their tank. They took a picture and they turned out to be spider eggs.

Ick.. ok, next time I see it I will take a picture and post it. Like I said, they don't show up that often.. and when they do, I pick them out.
