Hi All,
I have a question about air bugs like moths, beetles, etc..... lets call them 'outverts'
Anyway - Having most of my tank and sump in the garage is pretty cool becuase I dont have to have cupboards and other enclosures. The result is that my tank and sump dont have covers. I often find all sorts od dead bugs floating on the surface. My questions:
1. I'd imagine if left to decompose these bugs would contribute to DOCs and eventually nutrients in the water?
2. should I be worried about them excreting toxins into the water?
Probably one of the more strange questions on the forum but I was just wondering. Any idea?
ps. I dont really want to close my tank and sump as it offers a nice cooling effect
Cheers
Jason
