SRC Member Stenopus Hispidus Posted December 9, 2002 SRC Member Share Posted December 9, 2002 Heh Got the same problem too. In fact, I have two regulars who leave their poop on my tank occasionally. My tank is located outside. The actinic draw flies and the flies draw crocs, esp. a big prob. during rainy days. Duh Anyway, that's OK. Cleaning pooh is better than having flies swimming in the tank that end up in the sump as exoskeletons eventually. In fact, my false gamma have acquired a taste for flies on top of its usual diet of frozen mysid and bs and so it join the ranks of the crocs.

Achilles Tang Posted December 9, 2002 Author Share Posted December 9, 2002 I think its a problem in tropical Singapore. I noticed an increase in flying insects in the house ever since I got a reef tank... especially when I upgraded to HQIs! Flies, moths, flying ants... aiyoh! If I see an '8-legged freaks' coming... I quit!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Tang Posted December 9, 2002 Author Share Posted December 9, 2002 Hmmm.... you will need a lot of flys to produce that amount of ammonia. Perhaps if you have a dozen lizards drowning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
