Got some protein buildup and squashed a planaria and a seed shrimp on a cycling tank. Is that a good or bad sign?

QUOTE(sniper on the roof @ Oct 11 2013, 07:12 PM) Planaria can come from new filter media? probably from your new moss, plant , wood or shrimp. Nuke them before they take over your tank.To cycle faster , add in air pump, provide more oxygen, bacteria need to utilize o2 to grow. |

If in aircon room or hooked with chiller then no problem. or least put a fan.Normal shrimp like cherry/malaya can tolerate upto 30'c-31'c but won't be optimum. |

Heat i think not a problem. Under seawater project ago the temp is around 26c. Problem is roller ceramic and carbon ball not necessary right.

Well...am back...
 3 casualties this week...1 fire red, oto & 1 kamikaze malayan.  Glad the others & shrimplets are still doing fine. Tank glass is still full of GDA...so no pics could be taken  Not sure if the dead red was a berried female or not...though I hope not. Managed to see 1 of the reds molting...finally...that was nice.The 2 crs are still doing good too. So hope to add in more in the near future. Who knows...maybe even OEBTs next time  |
