Hello folks:
I suspect I have diatoms so I took a sample of my sand and analyzed it under the microscope (the sample was taken using the "10/0.25 (160/0.17)" lense with the WF10X (DIN 18 MM) attachment).
Sure enough, I do see diatoms but I also see some "worm looking" critters that I have...
Hello all! First post and first serious tank. My tank is 4 months old, I’m seeing what I believe to be Dino’s. I have had very low nitrates and phosphates so increased feeding to help raise them. Bought a microscope to help identify what kind. But I have no idea what I’m looking at lol. Any help...
