Tank has been running for about 5 days now with lights and I'm starting to see some growth.
Wondering if you can identify a few pictures.
1st 3 pictures.
Are those Vermited Snails? I noticed all the Rock I got from the shutdown now contain many of them. I did not watch to scrub them down before putting them in the tank because I was kinda forced to have the tank ready within 2 days or else the 7 fish that were left to die would be going in an uncycled tank, so did not want to risk killing the live rock (Long story). Was hoping to help cycle the tank almost immediately.
If they are pests, in freshwater, pest snails were dealt with just by controlling your food and your perimeters, could they also be growing due to the tap water? Spectrapure is taking forever to replace my RODI. The 3rd picture is some of the live rock, would you say all those white dead "worms" are vermited snails?
The last 2 pictures are of something I noticed swimming in the water at tonight. When looking at it, seemed like a regular worm, but when I would flash light at it, it looked like a small centipede? Might be too hard to identify.
Thank you and sorry for the long post
