Trochus snails are spawning - how long till...

...I'm picking babies out of my skimmer pump intake?

I've had the same issue. The up side is that the Trochus snails are kind of self replenishing and great CUC in my opinion. The down side is that they seem to get everywhere.
At one point, it seemed like they would overpopulate and I was having to clean the skimmer pump and pull snails out of the air intake all of the time.
Over time, they seemed to start self regulating. They still reproduce, but haven't become a problem at all. And I haven't had to clean my skimmer pump in a long time. I should probably do that.
Just my experience. Don't know if you will see the same result.
