I noticed a lot of those Y structures at various magnifications.

That's all the updates for now. I think up next will be skimmate.

shoot, in tapatalk it made those youtube links embedded but in the browser they're just links. I guess I have to copy the embedded link from youtube.

So, here's some of my favorites. You can bump the resolution up to 720 HD if it's not your default.

Tonight or tomorrow night I'm thinking of looking at some skimmate.


Haven't touched it since 9/11/2015

This is an inspiring post. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! There's so much life all over our tanks we just can't see.

What is going on in the cyano video where it looks sort of like matter flowing through a pipe?

Can you explain that?

Holy hell that's some nasty looking skimmate!!:eek2:

I'm super curious as to what you'll find in there.

Following along for sure.

 

[Spslvr]

This is a really cool thread!!

 

[jason2459]

This happened tonight.

I pulled from the bottom and got some black death.

And then I tried pulling foam from the neck riser area. It's a freaking war zone there.

I'll work on pictures and videos later at some point.

 

[jason2459]

First the smear of death a and decay. The bottom of my skimmer looks to be the end of the line for life.

There were quite a few very tiny practically clear worms. And some extremely tiny but amazingly colorful and hungry cells.

Lots of salts

 

[jason2459]

Lots of death

But something is there

See it?

It's going in for the kill

Spent almost the entire time watching these cells consume anything they could. Changing sizes and colors in an instant.

Till there was nothing left
