Hi,
I've been following the development of vermetid snails for almost couple years and getting to the point of restarting the tank instead of trying to kill it. At some point in the past I've got it and can't get rid of it. Right now every inch of tank has at least 5-10 of small snails. It grows on the corals, irritates zoas and softies and looks gross. I know some say it will gone but so far it multiples and I wonder if I can even get any frags for tank restart.
Since the tank is relatively small and I'm not very happy about it I'm thinking of restarting it.
What do you think - is it possible to save anything from the tank without bringing it back to the new tank? How to clean system to prevent if from coming back? From my knowledge there are no dips that can kill those beasts. I can make holding tank in the garage for fish but not sure what to do with corals - I have some zoa rocks, some SPS, some softies. Everything covered with vermetids...
