    In my marine days, I ended up with accidental colonies of arthropods, copepods, or perhaps shrimp, breeding in my canister filters. They were all-white from no light, and I’m sure that I didn’t appreciate them as I would today.

    Biology will clear it all up! Enjoy!

    I tried to take my friend’s dog for a walk today, but we didn’t get very far. I just rescued a bumblebee. I love them!

    I love this! Enjoy the tannins.

    I try to run my tanks so that that each ecosystem is stable and compatible. I prefer to let biology do the work.

    Welcome! I hope that you keep your existing tank going, if you choose to go bigger.

    Shrimp love an algae wall. Hair algae can look gorgeous on wood, like a 1980’s hair band.

    Are ceramic rings or spheres part of your filter media? They can leave some dusty debris.

    @Isaac M, I love seeing the updates. It is fun having some other folks on the forum running organic soil tanks!

    Emotionally, this was what made me feel good about owning it: Knock on wood; I hope it never goes off!

    @CalmedByFish, while my Apex purchase was intentional, my LDM purchase wasn’t. I paid for a used rimless 12 gallon, but it broke in shipping, so I took an LDM and a Lunar Simulation Module, rather than a refund. Maybe I will do some testing for the forum.

    If monitoring would help you relax, there are leak detection kits, both standalone and as part of a larger system. I have the Neptune Systems Apex with their Leak Detection Module and a couple of sensors.

    On a previous forum, some folks were experimenting with reverse undergravel filters, with flow moving up through the substrate.

    I ran UGFs as a youth, even one model with a bubble wall instead of uplift tubes. I always used them with gravel. I saw the weed fabric idea. Another thing to consider under the sand would be CaribSea Rhyzomat, although I bet sand would still get through.

    There is a secret maze in Ladybird’s patterns.

    This suggestion has probably been posted before, but sometimes a water top-off of a different temperature can trigger breeding.

    This community thread should help with lighting:

    I don’t see most accidental inhabitants as nasties. I have earthworms living in my folks’ substrate, and a dragonfly grew up in terrestrial moss for me.

    I love tannins in my hard water, so I do not do anything to remove them.

    I would not bleach it! I have used old wood in tanks after years.

    I love seeing the continuing community spirit of this forum. 🌮🌮🌮

    Your aquarium looks so awesome. I think that you should rename your thread (edit the first post), with an ongoing journal title.
