SO im almost finished my process of cycling my tank the ammonia goes down to 0.5 - 0 ppm after i add 5ppms every day so i just need to wait for the nitrites. one concern i have about my tank is there seems to be alot of white "dust" in my tank, does anyone know what that is?
and another thing i have a bunch of the white little worms in my tank i read they are harmless so im not worried. are they caused by the ammonia i am putting in the tank?
thanks
white "dust"

Re: white "dust"
If your ammonia source is rotting food, they're just there to eat the leftovers. The white dustiness could be from rotting food, too.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."
