MarcoVan Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Closeup pics of bacteria pods multiplying n munching away at the NP pellets yum yum ... Correct me if I am wrong. I thought these are just normal pods which appears when your tank has high nutrient levels? I see ALOT of them when I was first starting up my tank. Quote Happy Reefing, Marc J.

SRC Member Soul Posted November 29, 2010 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 29, 2010 I can't tell whether these are the same pods or not as theres no pics nor comprehensive info i can find on the net but my nitrate level is a constant zero ever since using the pellets plus i only see these pods inside the NP pellet FR and not in my sorb4 FR. U can say that i just presumed they r what they r Quote Visit My new 3x2x2.5 setup's thread My old 3ft setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Reefer yikai Posted November 29, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted November 29, 2010 Aiyoh, pass a few sample for our well known Fishiologist Prof Lemom will reveal the outcome liao, he recently got a new microscopic toy...lol heh. to bro soul, these are regular copepods that happen to live in your reactor because it provide a safe area where they are not eaten or destroyed. they do not eat the biopellets, neither are they bacteria. bacteria are super tiny about 1µm depending on species. some smaller some bigger. they cannot be seen with naked eye. only way to see them is to stain them using special dyes and viewed under a microscope.
