White Specs

[Tyler COlburn]

Just wondering if ich floats around in the water column or if its just my fine sand because sometimes the white specks go near my fish and almost like attach to them but then fall off all at the same time like rapidly I am not sure if its ich or if its just sand or maybe calcium floating around? Because it just doesn't stay on the fish super long like i thought ich did. I am used to freshwater ich so I am not too sure if this is normal or of its ich or sand or micro bubbles.

You're not going to be able to see ich in the water column. It's something else.

Sounds like sand.
