LR pooping? please help!!!

[first-timer89]

There is something brown that keeps coming out of the same spot on my lr. I suck it up and then the next day it it back. What could cause this? It is more thand my fish goes in a week! kudos for good help!

Can you get a pic?

Could be the work of one of more boring worms and the brown stuff is their ejection of their drilling efforts. Many times I see puffs of brown stuff coming from the LR, but I know that it is just the worms at work.

are they good?

 

[Sam]

Yes, I am sorry, yes they are good. This is good poop!

thanks, should i keep cleaning it up or let it go?

Well, I suppose you can clean it up...and that's good...but it seems a nearly impossible to maintain that kind of cleanliness in the tank.

You know what they say..."one animal's poop is another animal's breakfast" (OK, so they don't say that very much) Some other creature will process that away to the ecosystem.

Leave it...
It'll all take care of itself...
Make sure you have some snails and hermits and it'll all work out !
Unless you have a agressive tank then your snails and hermits will be snack food...
FWIW the turbo snails make BIG POOP !
