Natures lil miracles. A cycling experiment.

[saltyfilmfolks]

Sorry if I'm at a loss for words here. My mind is a bit blown.
In October I planned a tank for a friend who's house I stay at when I work. I took completely dry rock and dry sand well rinsed and added old tank water and fijimud in a five gallon bucket with a powerhead an put it in my basement garage to cycle. I changed the water once and added a little tank water at some point.
Life went completely off the tracks. And now it's June. I set up a quarantine tank last night, took five minutes. Added the sand and water and this morning I found this in the cup full of rubble.
Worms. Live worms.

I had planned on making a full thread on how I did it and probably still will. But I did not expect to find this.

Life will always find a way!

That's great!!!

always interesting to see what pops up! could have been larvae in the old tank water or perhaps they were dormant in the mud!

That is so cool.

Thank you for posting my next link-to when someone debates again we have to ghost feed our tanks to keep bacteria alive

your worms on the macro scale had a much harder time finding feed, and they did.
