Look at the snails!

Been 6 months since cleaning the skimmer and kept hearing a small noise from what otherwise is a silent skimmer. Look at all of them! They are everywhere in my sump/ tank and now in the skimmer!

If they are trochus, time to start selling em!

I’d happily trade for coral!

30$ worth of snails if you went to a shop
if only mine actually survived

I just had the same thing happen. Thought the skimmer pump was going out. Darn snails. LOL

They get everywhere and are likely in your sump lines.

That is a lot of snails!

I have a tiny snail that breeds in my tank, but it’s not trochus. It stays tiny and is more round like a mini turbo snail. At first I thought it was really cool how they cover the walls at night munching on algae…but every time my skimmer pump or wave pump stops working I know it’s those little buggers jamming things up.
