I've tried a lot of options but my Vermetid Snail infestation is getting out of control and I'm dreading the idea of a tear down and start over to rid them. My system is 850 gallons the main display is 650 gallons. Run full Apex, Trident, DOS with 200 watt UV, 6' Dual Beckett skimmer and mechanical filtration in pads and cups.
I put in 200 Bumble Bee snails about a month ago and they really are busy everywhere but the Vermetid Snails.
Looking for any other ideas I might try besides a tear down. gluing shut, cutting off is out of the question because there are literally thousands of them in my system.
Thanks in advance for any of thoughts and ideas, I've included pictures (edited the best I could). The coral growth is strong in the tank as evident in the photos as the are growing over the Vermetids, but really distorting the corals natural growth patterns.
