If I had time, I would have wanted to put timelapse on the microscope. I think it would be cool to even make a video like that. Thank you for your help

Thank you a lot. This is interesting. The only thing is that the worms are smaller than the eggs which makes me wonder if the eggs grow by time

I might have a theory. I feel like those eggs are for flatworms or something. I think they either turned or turning into flatworms. And we saw some next to the eggs in the pictures as well. Does anyone know the species of those flatworms? I can search for their egg. But it is still very odd that...

What do those eggs turn into? I have never seen any creature in the tank so far. I expect it to be visible and very numerous, hence the huge number of eggs. Is the video with the link visible? Yes, I tried wiping them, and not much happens actually (its in the video). They get stuck to the...

Yeah, I am not worried about the worm, it's kinda harmless. But these round things are like some alien-type things. They are either dead or they just don't move. What about the weird white strings of hair? What are those? I don't like the fact that they are everywhere in the water. Here is...

Sorry for the late reply. Here are close-ups with a microscope. I don't know how to attach a video. Here is a link (expires in two days): Watch Edited 2026-03-22 20-09-18 | Streamable I also added some pictures. - The black dots look like some living thing, but they don't move. - Also, there...

There are some dots both on the plants and on the glass. They are not dirt but sticked to the glass and plants. Tank: CO2 filter light micro macro fertilizer (estimated index method) no livestock, not even snails dirt substrate covered with 1.5-inch sand 2.5 years old tank plants are Monte...

not really. It is 4 inches at most, but there is a cave built under the dirt. So most of the places are not even filled with dirt that much I tried 2 different check valves. The second one I got is high quality. I am not using a CO2 tubing, that could be the reason. The tubing expansion could...

I am working on a system that automates many functions of an aquarium; hopefully, that will take care of the things that I keep neglecting. CO2 is giving me lots of trouble because the bubble coming out is not steady. Sometimes it's going fast and sometimes slower despite not touching the...

In just a week, the surface starts to get white. It is very odd because the water in general looks thick, too. If you look at images closely, you can see very small straight particles everywhere in the water. First, I thought it was my filter material (white wool kind of thing), but after I...

I have this algae problem for the past 2 month I think. What is this algae above? I also feel the water to be thick or of high viscosity, if that helps. Also, this was on top of the water due to neglecting the tank for 3 weeks. I added a ton of Monte Carlo, did a 100% water change, and...

My bad, I was not fully paying attention to the word I used. I meant much easier. But it is much cheaper than the pressurized CO2 systems. Also, I had yeast systems before, but they were just disasters. They don't last much, and refilling them is a huge pain. In the end, I had to pay...

A 200g 200g mix would work for anyone. I am just a guy who likes to overcomplicate stuff for himself. This CO2 generator cost me about $100, and with $20 of material, I can run it for years. So, it is much much much more cheaper than any other CO2 system Yeah, yeast stuff is too much work. I...

Results: CO2 was active from May 29, 2025, to October 25, 2025 — about five months. Pressure readings were as follows: After 1 hour: 120 psi After 19 hours: 220 psi After 48 hours: 300 psi After 5 months: 20–40 psi The pressure stayed around 300 psi for about three months. This shows that...

Don't worry, you are not alone (I spent around 3 hours to get comfortable). I think they also look scarier on this website since it is not a good visual representation
