I've done huge water changes and this stuff keeps coming back. Any ideas? Some are moving...cocepods? But the rest are just suspended in the water column. I brushed my power head this morning and this is what came off:


All levels stable - Alk, Calc, Ph, Phos, Nitrate, Mag.

Maybe Detritus? Especially if you are blowing off equipment. What kind of flow do you have? More flow allows more detritus to stay suspended for filters/skimmers to trap. If you have plenty of flow, check and make sure your filtration is working correctly. Filter socks/material changed frequently and return pump clean and working.
 
White particles showing up out of nowhere is likely precipitated calcium.
 
Don't think so. This stuff is fleshy, almost like mysis exo. All different sizes as well, with not much structure to it.
