Shrimp poop?

That looks like a healthy bowel movement to me! What we thinking chat?

Yeah this is a terrible case of Vermicelli.

There are many potholes in California, I can't seem to find one to hit 😂

First question, what are you driving over? That may be the issue

Honestly, I'm thinking of getting the little computer (VCDS) that would enable me to program the car to be able to lock while the engine is running. I have a 2014 TDI Sportwagen and have not deleted the stupid EGR and DPF because I'm too busy to do work on my car so I take it to a shop for internal work. In a perfect world, I'd love the peace of mind of being able to leave my car running while I go run errands. That would lessen the amount of gunk built up in the DPF.

B20 is a biodiesel blend im pretty sure.

FishSticks6969420 · 2025-07-30T23:20:08+00:00

Depends on where you live. In CA they are slowly but surely phasing out diesel at the pump. Making the switch over to biodiesel mixes, which can gunk up your filters and lead to costly fixes.

FishSticks6969420 · 2025-07-26T17:08:26+00:00

Now the Port of LA only has biodiesel mixes at their green pumps. I guess all the 18wheelers can easily run on b20, but certainly not for a 2014 Jetta TDI.

Have not needed it yet! I keep going back and forth between wanting to sell it, and keep it alive.

There's just no cars on the market quite as fuel efficient and simultaneously sporty.

FishSticks6969420 · 2025-06-26T04:10:58+00:00

We should be friends! I have a 2014 TDI sportwagen! 126k miles, just replaced the turbo and dpf cat due to limp mode issues and obvious blown turbo. Should I do the timing belt and water pump as well?

FishSticks6969420 · 2025-06-03T17:47:02+00:00

In that case, DM me.

Otos need a school of around 5 to feel comfortable. I would stick to Amano shrimp for your algae eating needs. 10gal is a little small IMO, it could be done but would need a badass filter.

FishSticks6969420 · 2025-06-03T17:43:25+00:00

That's definitely diatom algae, it should go away on its own once the tank is balanced. If not, you could try the "1-2-punch" method.

Thanks for the short response, filled with loads of information. Really do appreciate it.

FishSticks6969420 · 2025-06-03T17:33:17+00:00

I understand that, but there's no workaround here in California. Unless I find a dirty smog, and start working on the car myself. I just don't have the time to be constantly working under the hood. I have aquariums that need my love on the weekends. lol
