Question
And  Isee the little white worms....which I read could also cause bacteria blooms... Ughh! Any suggestions...they creep me out!

Answer
Hi Dawn,
Lol... I'm sorry, I know that many of the life forms we encounter can be disgusting whether good or bad. That's either a pod or bacterial bloom. Copepods have a free swimming stage that can be mistaken for a bacterial bloom. Do they appear to have antennae or legs? If so then they are most likely one of the 12,000 species of Copepods. If not do 20% water changes every other day. You'll get it cleared up. Do let me know how it's going.
