I've been logging my water readings on the site (click
Waterlogged category to see just the readings) ever since I set up the tank. The rock was cured and the water--which had good readings to begin with---has only improved since adding the rock. No ammonia.
Everything about the set up of the tank and the water, everything I've done, I've logged from the very beginning. I'm hoping there are clues in there that might mean something to someone, something that didn't strike me as significant.
Maybe the worms were compromised before I even bought the rock--part of that "die off" that hadn't died off yet. One thing that puzzled me is that two worms never extended a probosis and one never retracted it. (It fell off--rotted off---this afternoon.)
A friend of mine suggested they might be stressed simply because my water is much cleaner than what they came out of, that they suffer from too much of a good thing and overextended themselves in the new environment.
But what I'm wondering is whether this is indicative of a problem I'm not aware of with the water. Something I'm not testing for or something I'm testing for, but not interpreting correctly. Do any of my water test numbers look bad/odd to you ---anyone?
