I have no idea if the two are connected but the only other thing I've started in the last five days is feeding newly-hatched baby brine shrimp. I'm still getting practiced at separating the napulii from the shells so some shells probably got in my tank but I seriously doubt that'd cause dinos to start showing up...right? |
Very interesting - was your scrubber healthy (thick green growth) and then deteriorated ending with the dino outbreak?
The sequence of events and a detailed timeline is really important here. Please share more.
