screw them this is HARDCORE BABY [img]cool.gif[/img]
well ok.... but anyone not interested in knowing...
do not proceed to read this post.... kk? great
*ahem*
well... anyone with any real aquarium experience
knows about white water worms.... they live and
breed in almost all fresh water sources (pretty
much regardless of temperature -- i know, i've
tested it).
anyways... if you have no idea about white water
worms... here's the scoop.
i have this 30gal aquarium that i've had for
years. its pretty easy to run a typical
aquarium... but.... you should know that your
water is the most vital element (duh).
anyways... i do treat my aquarium water...
but only with typical solutions for typical
fungi and yadda yadda....
however... after your tank is set up... and
ready to house fish... eventually you may see
tiny worms floating around in the water.
these worms are hair-like... tiny...different
lengths... and white. they 'swim' too... rather
like sperm to be honest. their tails wriggling
very fast.
they multiply RAPIDLY... once your tank is
infested..... you have no choice but to clean
it out... totally... with bleach et al.
several years ago i experienced these worms for
the very first time... and i cleaned my tank
repeatedly... over and over...
which is a big frikken hassle....
and no matter what i did... the worms appeared.
eventually i called around town speaking with
a few aquarium stores... and they all said
the same thing...
water worms....
solution?
get your local water provider to treat for the
worms because thats where they are coming from.
the water providers 'clean' the water and supply
additives etc for various things... but they
generally do not treat for water worms.
so.... because of that.... i will never drink
water from a fucking tap... unless its a dire
emergency... and... it gave me a turn off to
water in general... so that now all i use it for
is cleaning and cooking... (cuz usually water
you use to cook with is boiled.. and thats ok).
I GET WATER WORMS IN MY TANK! [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]
