Its not dead yet... I had it in front of a powerhead basically and it is just really P*&&#@ off right now. I moved it to a spot with very little flow and it regained its blue color earlier this evening. It was almost all white. I think itll come back, like you said they are resilient.

SO I will get some pictures up soon, but I got another powerhead, koralia 550 to mix up the water flow a bit, i felt the two powerheads I had werent doing a good enough job. I also broke down and bought myself a skimmer Octopus Nw110 (the new model) and it instantly started pulling alll sorts of gross stuff from the water, I am absolutely amazed that before I had this skimmer the tank was able to process out all this stuff, absolutely nasty gunk. I believe my tank will be way better off for it
and I got 4 more snails.

Nice thread. Like how you dove right in and everything seems to be doing so well!
I think we've all overflowed our RO/DI buckets at some point. Glad there wasn't much damage! |
