Whats in your filter? A look at 1200x magnification

[Wulfonce]

Whats in your filter media? Well I found an old microscope in my closet the other day (forgot I had it, lol) and had a look. What were looking at is poly fiber filter floss from a well established tank at 1200x magnification. I found a total of 4 different types of critters but only filmed one.

Enjoy!
