Copepods.

I dropped a few drops of copepods into the tank.

Wow can really see the all the white thingy released into the tank.

My firefish has been having a good feast last night and this morning, it is still eating them.

My tank walls are now infested with these pods. Just wondering are there any negative effects if there are too many pods?

No negative effects, but they do cannibalize on each other, dunno if tt's a bad side effect?

yeah. its the copepods solution is quite clear, not orangy.

Think I just need to add 3-5 drops for my future mandarin each day.

btw bro are you still experiencing microbubbles? I was exploring some of the Tunze systems and found this in one of the manuals I read:

Adjustment of the water circulation

When used as an internal skimmer, the Comline DOC skimmer can be set to a water circulation of between 5 and 70 per cent. For regulation the sliding cover (1) is pushed to the left (5 per cent) or to the right (70 per cent). Example with DOC Skimmer 9010 set to 70 per cent: The skimmer draws in 70 per cent of fresh water (about 850 l/h (224 USgal./h)) and causes a strong oxygenation, ideal for fish tanks. In particular in newly set-up biotopes, small air bubbles may be expelled at the water outlet.

Example with DOC Skimmer 9010 set to 5 per cent: The skimmer draws in 5 per cent of fresh water (about 60 l/h (16 USgal./h)) and thus is gentle to plankton, making the setting ideal in particular for breeding tanks. The oxygenation is lower, but almost no air bubbles are expelled. Depending on the biotope, the water exchange can be set to between 5 and 70 per cent. In order to skim the maximum amount of waste during the run-in phase, the manufacturer recommends the maximum open circulation, however.

Hope it helps!

okie, think I gotta try this out tonight. More bubbles leaking out.
