Lil tiny white worms all over the place in my tank... what do i do?
add salt, raise temp? anything else?

There fairly common, they are on your glass and not on the fish correct? I forget the name but high levels of salt will kill them.

Yeah you will see them wiggling around in your water as well. I have them in a tank at my home with rays and never have problems.

ok good.... so just add some salt and they normally die off?

 

[csx4236]

You will need to add alot of salt to kill them

 

[turkeyboy85]
