Saltedpals Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Think I know what you mean. I have this thin film of brown colour dust on my LRs too. Occasionally, I will see a cloud of dust ‘exploding’ out from some hole in the LR. Anyone know who or what in the LR causes this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaAngel Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Hi You'll find the answer faster if you go to the search icon and type "dust" or "brown". There's a fair bit of reading there. Hope you'll get what you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member dradttg Posted January 27, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 27, 2004 This is where the tooth brush comes into play. As for the sudden dust, it could be a crab or worse (mantis shrimp) digging a hole in your LR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
