I have noticed that there are some earthworms in my DIY substrate. I figure that either there were some worms in it that I was not aware of or perhaps some worm eggs that got in via dosing the emersed setup worm pee.
I am wondering if you guys would have any suggestions as to how I can remove them? There is one section of the tank were the worm/s are unearthing the composted substrate to above the capping and burying the HC around it.
My only idea is to fill the tank with enough water to cover the substrate and wait until they come to the surface. My concern though is what adding the water might do to the HC. I am hoping that I can remove the worms in 30 mins to 1hr max.
Do you think that this may be enough to cause the HC to melt?
Thanks guys
