As long as you like the look and do not have fish that will eat it all, the dt is fine.

How about a DIY fuge made out of an Aquaclear.

I recommend the fuge mod. I did it with my Ac70. Took me about 10 min to do.

Or just stick it behind your rock in a corner that you can't see and let it grow back there.
