Hi, I've a relatively new system 4-6 months and I have noticed some small larvae in the solids uplift, I'm going they are mosquito larvae.. Anyone seen these in their systems?

Not sure what they are. there may be a couple of mosquito larvae but I doubt it since it looks like everything is attached to the sides. Might be some black fly larvae in there but it's hard to tell for sure :dontknow: . It would be a common location for them though.

I'd just consider these to be part of the system and let them be.

Cheers
