I thought that would be a funny title to start a thread.
Seriously though I've started a new system and I'd like to keep it clean. I have leftover snails in a system that I'm breaking down. The problem is I had a lot of hitchhiker's that I don't want to introduce to this new system.
Aiptasia, strawberry anemones, hydriods, vermetid snails, etc.
Is there any way to remove or guarantee that none of these will be introduced. I know the obvious is to remove what you can see but what about what you can't see. I need help would be greatly appreciated.
 
There are few guarantees , but yes.
Best practice is to qt anything wet.

My coral qt is my snail qt. Simple , Easy to break down and clean. Basically just a frag tank.

Inspect as they come in, as time passes , and well before they go in the tank.
