My photoperiod is from 3pm-11pm
Today I manually opened my lights at 11am for a quick second because I was just curious to see my tank (last night I changed my carbon and the tank looked so clear around 9am)
So I opened my lights at 11am and the tank is so dirty looking! I thought my skimmer was throwing micro bubbles at first. Then I thought I had a copepod bloom.
But THEN! I see my snails spawning!
They spawned a few weeks ago and I got baby Trochus snails from that event! Should I close my protein skimmer and UV for a day so I can get as many Trochus snails as possible? Or would that cause my tank to have issues? I run filter socks (100 micron) and activated carbon.
