    Here is my clean up crew
    30 Dwarf Ceriths
    3-9 Nassarius add 3 for every fish you get. One before you get fish.
    10 Florida ceriths
    5 Large Nerites
    10 Blue Legs

    My blue legs have stolen the shells of a few of the Nassarius

    I went throug the same thing---I called it diatom dust--It will stop on its own. Mine took about a month to stop doing that. Now I just have to clean about every three days. It is not that yellow dust anymore.

    Ok I will let nature takes its course and reduce the feeding and see what happens if not I may look into the chemicals. Thanks again!!!
