Hard calcium deposits...?

Mark...

Mark...

I'm getting these hard white dots on my glass and other hard surfaces. Pain to remove. I believe they are calcium but not 100% sure. Calcium is only 360 and dkh is 7.3 with ph of 8.00 Any ideas? Thanks!

Mark, my first guess are snail eggs. I believe nerites leave individual eggs.....white spots on your glass. Leave them for a couple days and see if they crawl away. :grin:



EDIT TO ADD:

I just looked up nerite eggs, and here's an example:

I've had snail eggs before but in tiny bunches, nothing like this. These are really hard and individual. I'll leave them and see if they sprout...thanks!

If there is a spiral look to them they are possibly Spirorbid worms. Nerite snail eggs obviously look like small white sesame seeds.
