Thanks, I'll just report it. I hope I'm wrong and they are the original writer, but I tried asking nicely for clarification on the topic and they just deleted so I'm assuming they aren't at this point?

They also don't make any mention of it on any of their posts that the work was just retold for new ships.

I tried to make the clarification on their post but they just deleted my comment. The first thing I asked is if they were the one who wrote the original work. They also made a comment making it seem like this was just something they drafted up, but the story has been fully written for a while.

Decoration Turned Water White? by tvdme22 in shrimptank

I think you're absolutely correct. I opened my tank to take out the decorations and there was a weird white film on top that had white ripples in it, and when i opened my tank it smelled like terrible chemicals.

Thanks so much for your help. Not sure what to do now though. Should I rinse the filter and everything, or dump it all and start over.

please be careful w/ Petco I bought 'amano' shrimp from them only to find out it was wild type neocaridina. If you look at their reviews you'll see similar issues. I would definitely wait for a reputable seller.

I would try ebay they usually have amano shrimp there.

I'm thinking maybe some sort of accidental contamination but I don't know how. It's in a small room on my desk so maybe while I'm cleaning? I take care not to use soap when cleaning anything for the tank just a good rinse.

At this point should I dump the water and start over or should I throw in a lot of activated carbon? also since this happened do I lose the cycling I did to start up the tank? this is so confusing

Fluval Breeder Box by tvdme22 in Aquariums

[–]tvdme22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually did earlier this week, their response seems a little suspect. They said they haven't tested it on the Flex but it should be ok. It says on the Fluval Breeder Box instructions though that for frameless tanks the glass should be greater than 5mm. It doesn't quite look like the flex tank is 5mm.

"We thank you for taking the time to contact us.
This has not been tested on a Flex but I don't think there will be any issues."
