Sometimes I have to tap on the side to make sure they are still in there. I think it's just my eyes. You also have to make sure to take some out regularly. Once I started doing that, they filled in better than ever.

Well I think I successfully killed my culture.   Not sure what I did wrong.  They were thriving, and then I decided to do a water change.    Ever since, the phyto seemed to grow and take over the bucket.   Forming large chunks.   I tried changing the water a few times since....no luck.

I still have a couple swimming here and there, but they are nearly clear.....almost like they just don't like the strain of phyto that has taken over......

Bleach your bucket, rinse the ones that are left and add them back with some phyto and you should be good to go. When you do water change are you doing it with fresh sterile saltwater or using tank water?
