Don't see any impact to the microbacterium, coccus, bacilli, diatoms, phyto etc.

And I keep telling myself to stop but I there's just to much to explore. Like I just captured a pregnant pod! So cool!
Are you making this stuff up? LOL! I'm going to have nightmares tonight! And our fish eat & drink this creepy stuff? Yikes!

HA! I did post this warning

Pictures transfering and videos uploading! I love the microscopic world.

But warning this will make you either never want to stick your hand in the water again (wearing gloves is a good idea) or go buy a microscope.

Funny thing is when I leave these sessions I still see bacteria swimming around every time I close my eyes.

And keep in mind that is just one tiny little speck. That stuff is ALL over the place and you can't even see it. And people wonder what their mandarin is pecking at when they don't see anything at all.

I wasn't seeing things yesterday. It's definitely fading away.


The one really bad spot. Probably also the one spot in the tank with the lowest flow

The rest is looking better

Well, that didn't take long. I went off to play with the kids and noticed 30 minutes went by. I went to the tank to get a quick picture of the junk floating around everywhere but it was already cleared up.

Ran downstairs quick to check out the sock and looks like I'll change it out tonight already. I'll do it later.

Lets see how long it will take for anything to show up. It looks like I didn't get 100% of it all but good enough for the first time blowing off I think.

Oh, the filter sock only 30 minutes later. I guess it helps I've got around 1400gph siphon going.

I might have missed it but is there a dosing guide on this thread? Your results are just crazy, and the microscope photos and videos are well documented, thank u for sharing this with the community
