How to get rid of Vermetid Snails - Removal and Control

[@tonybryan737]

Hi does snapping them off work do you think thanks from the uk 👍

[@Jolopy8000]

Woah! Never knew bumblebee snails were predators, time to go get me some

[@ReefDudes]

They can also go after smaller scales,, so its a bit of a double edge sword, i find bigger ones are pretty safe

[@ttwuxi]

How much to dose for 45 gallon tank ?

[@shirtdirt1874]

that mp40 wetside on the bottom of the tank. is that for decoration?

[@ReefDudes]

Yep lol, snail cave :P

[@RobBoryckiGolf]

Im in canada. You didn't mention what the calcium carbonate is or where to buy it?? Please these snails are a problem for me and bumblebee snails not doing enough

[@ReefDudes]

I did a video on that last week. This is the stuff i used amzn.to/3wr4okz

[@RobBoryckiGolf]

Thank you so much sir I really appreciate it. I will check out the video. Cheers from Ontario!

What happens with the vermitid snail tube when they die? Do they just fall on their own or do you have to scrape them?

[@davelenjan19]

do bumble bee snail will kill other variety of snail , like turbo snail and trochus snail?

[@ReefingwithO]

Yes, they are carnivorous snails

[@boozter]

Have not killed any in my tank. The bumble bee snail are very small and slow, doubt it would be able to kill a turbo snail.

[@ReefDudes]

Yes they can. I find bigger ones are safe. Smaller ones is a risk

[@davelenjan19]

thanks for the info guys.

Update on the vermetid snails? It's been 7 months...

[@inventoryking]

Bumblebee snails are great at this for sure. The 1 negative I have noticed with them is they will eat other snails if they flip over.

[@ReefDudes]

It can be a risk with small ones but find big ones are pretty safe

[@inventoryking]

@@ReefDudes They did an amazing job in my 120. only a few here and they are left.

[@ReefDudes]

@inventoryking how long did it take for you

[@inventoryking]

@@ReefDudes you know I didnt keep track since that tank also had dinos at that time. I would say 6 months to a year? It was infested badly

[@Fish_Ventura]

I just put 4 Bumblebee snails in my quarantine tank Sunday, I have a big trochus, he is safe so far

[@petarst]

do you have any evidence, before and after on the same coral?

[@ReefDudes]

If you watch the videos I did I Savy’s tank. He did a similar process which fixed his issues. I’ll talk about it more with him next time I do an update on his tank

[@petarst]

@@ReefDudes ok thank you.

[@loganzuercher5110]

Does this affect water chemistry or what could be the negative affects?

[@ReefDudes]

no negative effects that i'm aware of or have experienced

[@loganzuercher5110]

Thanks for the reply And thanks for the great content

[@ReefDudes]

[@ReefDudes]

Check out my video from last week on diy coral snow

[@jacobmills1982]

I have about 20-30 bumblebees and I’m about to do the coral snow treatment 👍

[@ReefDudes]

Heck yes. Tag team them!

[@J_3_P_O]

Is the calcium carbonate safe for all other organisms?

[@AdamDguitars]

Yeah, it doesn’t have a negative impact on anything

[@ReefDudes]

Yep. I have not experienced a negative impact.

[@fletcherwright7042]

They are hard workers

[@ReefDudes]

They really are

[@kyleparkinson5950]

Will bumble bee snails eat maxima clams?

[@glavotsky23]

I put bumble bees in my tank about a month ago, and I haven't seen them go near my maxima.

[@UziRid3r]

6 bees and dosing calcium carbonate snow 2 times a week has taken down nearly all vermatids in my completely overrun 120

[@ReefDudes]

Wicked! How long have you been doing this for?

[@UziRid3r]

@@ReefDudes I started seeing a decrease in the vermatids after about 3 months. A year later and now I have to search to find them. I don't consider them a pest any longer. My process has been to dose the CC after some polyp booster and coral food. Return pump off for 15 mins and Skimmer off for 30.

[@ReefDudes]

@@UziRid3r Awesome, thank you for sharing!
