Trapping Bristleworms

[ubiq]

My Seneye was reporting ridiculously high ammonia spikes every couple of days. On investigation, it turned out that the device was packed with bristleworms, apparently attracted by the dim green led indicating power to the SUD. I suspect that any trap incorporating a similar light would be very effective in trapping these pests.

Sorry, no. Just cleaned it out and suspended it to make it less accessible to the worms, but I was washing out 20-30 every 2-3 days.

little confuse about the relations of the high nh4 n the "device was packed with bristleworms", also as i know many bristleworms can even go into a rock hole without the light and foods, when i break the rock, i see all
