dsoz Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 As long as there are lights, and some water movement, you can go a couple of days without a skimmer. Just think of all the people that are running sumpless right now (like me). I do have a HOB skimmer, and a few power heads for flow. My sump is not hooked up yet. I need to move the whole tank to a new room, and will hook it up when it gets moved. Just turn off the equipment until either the snail crawls out, or you smash it with a dowel and knock the pieces out. Stupid snails... dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
