Thanks everybody! Happy to implement these tips and see what happens. 🙂 The gravel vac video was especially helpful!

I am hoping someone can help identify what small silky wormy like pest is growing on the glass fronts of my 5 gal aquarium, and how to treat? They are most active when the lights are off, and seemingly wiggle away and hide once said lights kick on. Currently home to 4 chili rasporas and a nerite snail. The tank has been somewhat neglected the past 4 months (ever since I had a baby) and wasn’t as consistent in water exchanges this summer, but I’m back on track now! As of late I’ve been doing 25% water changes weekly, and dosing with easy green (daily) and fritz complete (with water exchanges per dosing instructions on label). I also have a pest snail problem but it is improving as I have cut back on feedings in amount and frequency (now every other day), and am actively removing these pest snails as I see them. I took my water to get tested recently at Aquarium Co-op and they said it looks great. (Lucky for me I live in the Edmonds area and get to pop in regularly to see Murphy!)
