When do good snails become a nuisance?!

[higorc]

These guys have multiplied so much since the first time I saw it that now they are pissing me off! They are crawling into my MP10’s and getting jammed up in my Skimmer’s pump on a weekly base now!!!

I think I will have to start picking off these little guys and tossing them. I am tired of my Skimmer overflowing and my MP10’s making noises and then finding out they have crawled in the impellers!

Your MP10 should come with a foam sleeve to cover the wetside. That will prevent snails get into it.

Yeah, it does Dong. I am trying to avoid having one more thing to clean though!

I just sold my Sixline Wrasse. He was a meany!!! I never saw him eating any though. And he wasn't small either...but I guess they all differ a little...

Melanarus Wrasse will take care of them.
My Melanarus Wrasse assassinated all small snails and hermits in my 125 gallon tank. He left the cleaner and peppermints alone which is a miracle.
