MainelyReefer Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 They only grow in the rear of my AIO’s so I’m thinking they shouldn’t become a nuisance in the display and should filter in the rear right? Sometimes they almost die off then rebound months later. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
RayWhisperer Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 They are harmless filter feeders. Their population will go up and down. They tend to stay confined to areas of high flow. You might end up with a few in the display, but most will be in areas like the overflow and sump. 1 Quote Link to comment
