Guppysnail Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 That is a cool meter. I knew bacteria blooms reduced dissolved o2 but I never knew to what degree. Can I ask what the DO runs normally? Is this a heavy bloom or? Is this a standard decrease. I’m very curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the old backup meter from work. Every other week I take it home to ...um ...make sure it's still working. Most of my tank DOs are between 7 and 8. Visually it looks like a light bloom. I imagine a worse bloom would consume more but I haven't had a bad one with the meter around. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's alder trees other places I don't feel bad about collecting cones from though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll pick up another group and start a second CPD breeding tank. People seem to be getting tired of dead CPDs from the LFS and apparently people have been recommending me as a source for healthy CPDs. What kind of a crazy person doesn't like CPDs? WOW! They are beautiful!!! Good job!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modified lung Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 This is an extreme example but here's why you don't let your summer tub get too overgrown with plants. When the sun goes away, the plants suck out the oxygen. I don't keep fish in this one so no harm done. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
