What are they? Do I need to get rid of them? If so, how?? I have a 75 gal tank. all reads find. I have a skimmer, big one. Have about 150 lbs of rock. I am new to this, but learning fast after all my fish except for small eel died. Since then, I got all the test kits, change water correctly, nitrate still high a little, i just got the skimmer
