"things" Are still the same with this tank... just rock, sand and one lowly shrimp... well shrimp in a net that is! It's gooey looking right now. I'll test tomorrow to see "where" it is. Thanks for reading ![]()

| Do I look as lost as I am ![]() | Re: Julie's (BigAl's Gal) 6g NanoCube The "shrimp" has vanished.... I suspect it "Revived" and is crawling around somewhere. I did a water test tonight and the Ammonia is barely detectable on the scale. I ran OUT of Nitrite Reagent 1/2 way through that test so I can't tell where THAT part of the cycle is. I think I'll drop another shrimpy in the tank to feed the cycle. I'll be picking up a Nitrite Test kit Friday night. More to come . . .

| Do I look as lost as I am ![]() | Re: Julie's (BigAl's Gal) 6g NanoCube Well tonight Julie noticed "motion" in her tank. It's full of PODS running over the sand, across the rock and a TEAM of micro-life swimming around in the water column. I even "witnessed" a series of PODS being shot out of the output from the return pump. I snapped a pic of one up next to the glass just for fun. Here's the pod showing off ![]() and here's one I've never seen.. pic is BEYOND terrible but I'm posting it ANYWAY! This one looks like a small straight stalk with a singular wire coming out of it. It's somewhat center and totally unable to be seen ![]() ![]() And here's the latest FTS (more to come tomorrow night) ![]()
