Lamborghini Murcièlago LP640 Tubi Exhaust Sound
I have filmed a Balloon While Lamborghini Murcièlago LP640 fitted with a loud Tubi exhaust system and with carbon fiber spoiler and airscoop. Due to the loud sound of the Lambo it was setting off the car alarms of the cars in the area! The vid shows many details of this car, a few driving scenes and a start up of the engine. Some other cars you can see in the vid are the Ferrari 458 Italia, LP670-4 SV, Panamera Fab Design and Bugatti Veyron. Marchettino Facebook page: www.facebook.com

A bunch of worms came out of filter !! What are they?
I was moving one of my freshwater filters to a Brackish tank I’m setting up for my Puffers and when I started the filter, a bunch of tiny worms (super small, like beige) shot out of the filter and was floating and moving around frantically then quickly died off.
I’m not so much worried about the brackish tank because the salt (SG 1.015) seemed to kill them off but I’m very worried about my 55g freshwater tank I took the filter from.
I still have a 2-wheel bio filter and a Magnum 350 mechanical filter on the 55g. The Magnum 350 was originally in my saltwater tank but I thoroughly cleaned it with hot water and replaced the sponge and carbon before moving it to the freshwater tank.
In the freshwater, I have Penguin Tetra, Dennison Barb, Pictus, Featherfin Pleco, dwarf Gourami and Pearl Gourami, if it helps. Oh, and a Caliko Pleco.
I used an organic treatment when introducing new fishes.
Would really like to know what those worms are, why they’re in the filter, what harm/good can they do, how do I get rid of them?
Thanks!!!
More info - They were thin like a hair and as long as a grain of rice.
Boo- I still have all the same fishes in the 55g.. I just moved the filter since it had an extra.

Urgent fish tank help! Why are my ammonia levels spiking?
Okay, I have two tanks at home. One is tiny (3L) with a filter that is the home of 1 solitary Siamese fighting fish. The other is 30+ litres with a filter, heater, a fighter and 4 neons (they get along exceptionally well, no lectures about putting fighters with tetras).
The bigger tank is fine with its chemical levels, while the small tank has huge amounts of ammonia (approx 6 - 8 mg/L or ppm). Why??? I do regular water changes using a syphon (to get food out of gravel), have a filter, and have never had problems with it before. I took the tank off a friend (he originally kept 4 neons in it, too many I know, which is why i moved them into a bigger tank) but even then ammonia was fine.
The filter is set up so water passes through a fine, fibrous white layer, then activated carbon, then a coarser black sponge/mesh stuff. Would the ammonia levels rise coz the carbon is running out?
Also, is it ok if when doing water changes to replace the old water with water from the larger, established tank? It has no ammonia, almost neutral pH,no nitrites and no nitrates and should contain the bacteria that reduces ammonia.
Please help with my fish, he’s starting to look really sick!
And yes, I know fish poo, which causes ammonia. But 4 neons have lived in this tank with no problem or increase in any nasty chemicals. And I’d bet anything that 4 neons would poop a bit more than one betta.
So, I highly doubt the high ammonia levels are caused by excrement alone.
I’ve done a 50% water change, got the ammonia down to 2ppm but the next day it rose to 8ppm. It’s climbing really quickly.
Also, I’ve used ammo-lock which i know still registers as ammonia on tests, but my fish is looking sick =(
I’m gonna try replacing the carbon, hopefully that’ll help
