White Dots

I had a customer come up to me to get their water tested because they were concerned that their tank had ich and wanted to check that everything else was fine before starting treatment for the ich.
And like...their tank water looked just fine for the things we tested for.

So knowing that they were worried about ich I began going over potential solutions--

Until the customer mentioned that the white dots were on the sides of the tank.

Which...ich doesn't form in the tank. It doesn't go on the glass or the plants or the gravel.
Ich is a fish only issue.
Where white spots appear on the fish. 

To have white spots in the tank itself meant that there was a different issue. 

Which white spots on the sides of the tank automatically had me thinking that they were snail eggs.

Which can come into the tank in a variety of ways even if you don't have snails in your tank.

A quick check with the customer however established that they did indeed have snails in their tank to help clean the algae.

And the specific snails they had, the nerite snails, lay white eggs. 
Though luckily for the customer the eggs don't hatch unless the water is slightly brackish. 
So all they really have to do is scrub the eggs off their tank and decorations and they're good again.

The customer was rather relieved to hear that.
As they'd come into the store planning to have to do a ton of things to save their tank.
Not so much really.
lol just clean off the eggs.

Tada! Easy! 
Lol yay for an easy solution
