That's a biological aquarium filter actually... Living bacteria are not powerful enough to cancel out the increased production of ammonia and nitrite... so they place these tiny pieces of plastic to increase the surface that bacteria needs to colonize onto. What a great shot!

Fantastic work!

They look like cotton-reels. Great shot.

Not sure what I am looking at, but I am glad I am not the one who has to count them all. Thanks for sharing.

Fascinating shot, Richard. I can see the structure of these things clearly.

Wonderful Sci-Fi shot. Great details. I keep trying to translate what Rick said.., to no avail. I assume he said something positive. I guess.

Rick doesn't know what he said either
Okay, I'll explain: Fish poop and food waste turn into chemicals contaminating the clear water. Bacteria eats chemicals = clear water = happy fish. Those tiny pieces of plastic are tiny hotels for bacteria LOL!
