![]() Hope this explanation is clear enough i am looking at making this into a bigger production for all my fishes. Tubing and Spray bar (DIY from plastic tube bought from LFS) I have yet to make adjustment to regulate the flow, so I added wire mesh to put on top of the spray bar to make the flow from spray to ebb. Tube for overflow, which I drilled a hole in the Tray at the most isolated section of the Tray. A micron bag used for biological media 6. Tray: I found the tray at the kitchen section in hardware store only SGD1.90, it is supposed to be used as an organizer for cutlery for small drawer. The items used can be found at any LFS or Pet store and hardware store. A micron bag full of porous bio-media for added on biological filtration. The filtration system consists of: a submersible air power mini sponge filter to provide for mechanical. The worms are further separated from the filtration system by have an overflow box - microwave container from kitchen. The big size gravels help prevent the worms floating out while at the same time are easier to clean than say, sand. The water is drained back to a section of the aquarium with some big size gravels. The tray provides for barriers (Bulkheads) to keep most of the worms from draining. The way it works is to re-circulate filtered water to a tray containing the worms. The idea is to have a system to provide mechanical and biological filtration while providing circulation and make easy to harvest the worms. The design is to have shallow water to ensure tubi do not get drown. Will post pics of the components, when I have time.Cheers! They move like earthworms, by stretching and pulling. There are many species most are red, tan, brown, or black. They lack legs, head, and readily seen mouthparts. I have yet to make adjustment to regulate the flow, so I added wire mesh to put on top of the spray bar to make the flow from spray to ebb. Description Aquatic worms with segmented, earthworm-like bodies that are round in cross-section (not flattened).

The items used can be found at any LFS or Pet store and hardware store.Ģ. The filtration system consists of: a submersible air power mini spong filter to provide for mechanical. The highest level of Cd in worms (150 mg/kg) was observed after two days of exposure in. The worms are further separated from the filtration system by have a overflow box - microwave container from kitchen. Cd bioaccumulation in worms was positively correlated with its dose and exposure duration (0.88 to 0.94). The many wormlike larvae of aquatic insects always have some fingerlike, feathery, or leglike appendages, or are plump like caterpillars or grubs.The idea is to have a system to provide mechanical and biological filtration while providing circulation and make easy to harvest the worms.They have been a popular food for the aquarium trade almost since its. Flatworms (planarians turbellarians) are flat they move on surfaces by a seemingly motionless gliding. Tubifex worms are often used as a live food for fish, especially tropical fish.Leeches are flattened and usually move by swimming or by “looping” inchworm-like with front and back suckers.Adult horsehair worms are not segmented and are usually quite long for their width they move by bending, not by stretching and pulling.Midge larvae are insects and have distinct heads, leglike appendages, and often feathery structures. Thus red tubificid worms and red midge fly larvae are both sometimes called bloodworms. But the wormlike larvae of some midge flies (family Chironomidae) also possess hemoglobin and are also red. Some tubificid worms are bright red: they contain hemoglobin, the same oxygen-carrying molecule humans have in our red blood cells. ![]() Aquatic worms with segmented, earthworm-like bodies that are round in cross-section (not flattened).
