Love it. The H. Pinna should come back with a vengeance - I wouldn't worry much.
Hi,When I first started the filter the outflow was too deep and too near the substrate in the back. Result was uprooted plants and moved soil. I don’t have a good alternative in my reserves at the moment. So I have filter foam piece as a “muffler” on the outflow as a temporary fix. This obviously ruins the inline CO2 distribution.
This can happen to quite a few different species, George Farmer candidly revealed that several types were lost in the initial stages on one of Tropica's Youtube vids, when they were preparing show tanks at their laboratory.But I have also read about other people’s experiences of complete melting of in-vitro pinnatifida on the first days of a new scape.
I'm sorry to hear that.I do know that the web is full of "mystery shrimp death" stories and I really do not expect to ever find out what caused this. I have now been holding off the water changes. Might do a small one in the next coming days and then just try to follow a weekly water change routine after that.
