    Default Feather dusters??



    I was changing up my sump and noticed a ton of these in the rubble chamber. They have heads that extend from the ends of the tubes and resemble fester dusters. However, the "tubes" are soft rather the hard like feather dusters I have seen. By a ton, I mean there are at least a few hundred of these things in there. They seem to be confined to just the rubble chamber. Anyone know what these are?? Should I be concerned?

    Ah..thanks Chris. Extra filtration then! . As long as they are confined to the rubble chamber, l just leave them be.

    I had tons of these guys in my last fuge. To the point they were taking over (kinda like GSP). I never tried to pass them on but they tore in pieces whenever I went to "trim them back". I think they were good to have. At least not bad.

    I have never had a problem with tube worms. If you need me to buy some LR rubble or other LR to get them let me know. They do tear in pieces.
    I will swing by some other time and get them. They are hard to remove. lmk
