I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you overfeed your tank their population will grow very quickly, but I've never seen them harm anything. If anything they are just part of the CUC. Most of the time you won't even seem them. Especially if you don't feed too heavy, their population will stay in check. I like the ones in my tank. They come out when the lights go out. Seem to appear out of nowhere.
