I was not sure where to post this, but this seems to be the most fitting topic selection.
I was breaking down a nano tank from my sons room.. Everything was removed a little over a month ago (Ok I get it... I'm slacking)
The only stuff left in the tank was 1/2 tank of water, one shelf rock, and also the substrate... Low and behold to my surprise there were a rapid growth of small feather duster worms and also amphipods still surviving in the tank. The water flow has been off since I removed the tank mates and put them in my DT, there was not a heater running, and no lights on the tank...
The readings on the tank (had to test it for the fun of it)
pH: 7.5
Temp: 60 degrees F
Specific Gravity: 1.050
Nitrites: .25ppm
Nitrates: 5ppm
I would not have thought anything would still be living in that condition, more or less I am acclimating some of the pods to add to my DT, and the shelf rock is going to be added to my sump...
