![]() There's nothing wrong with feather dusters they clean your water. Not sure what eats them I've never thought about that.

![]() I have a tonne also. They dont do any harm. But they dont look great when you have a hundred of them. You can brush them off your rock fairly easily. I tried killing them off by putting them in my sump. They loved it in that dirty space.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. ![]() |
