Ok i did my research on snail eggs. which is what i thought i had on my tank wall and was correct in that. also i read they don't surive to well. anymore info on that read it on 3reef. anyhow should i just scrape them and let the fish have em. or see what happens? i guess i am worried that if they die that it will throw my paremeters outta wack.

I get a new batch of eggs once a week and haven't seen an explosion in snails. I've not monitored them very closely. It seems that after a couple days the sticky adhesive wears off and they free float through the aquarium system. When I get some free time I'm going to transplant a batch into the refugium for a chance at survival.

Most of them,If not all, will not survive. and they will pose no significant impact on your tank

sometimes you get lucky i have about 50 or more baby turbos in my 14g i think its because i stopped skimming and have been doing water changes every week, im off all summer so ive been able to take better care of my tanks.

I am working on spaying and neutering all of my snails! They pump out a ridiculous amount of eggs but they are no harm to the tank besides a lot of glass scraping on my part.

The small "baby turbos" that most of you have been talking about may be Collonistas. I have about a hundred in my BC8, but they seem to hide in the day. They are a nice free addition to my clean-up crew thats for sure.

Mexican Cerith snails are really good at reproducing in my tanks. Free snails are good.
