    We'll I've notice little black fruit flies zippin around my tank.
    I'm not really to found of these discusting looking little buggers...
    they mainly hang out around my tank....
    do you guys/girls have a similar problem and what do you guys use....
    If they do drop in the DT or sump is this bad for the fish...or reef???:confused:

    I had an out break of them for about a month or so last summer.I tried traps, sticky paper. It seem to slow them down some, it was very frustrating.Then they just went away and never came back? I have to say that at the time i saw them almost everywhere. At other peoples houses and businesses, even 50 miles away.They pretty much died out every where all at once? Life cycle? IDK?
