Snails in corner overflow…Help!

Fish R.Ph. · 06-21-2006, 10:56 PM

Hi all,

Does anyone have a trick for keeping snails (or other livestock for that matter) out of their corner overflow?

I have twice had to fish out a wandering Turbo snail, in fears that he will make it to my Durso PVC drain pipe, block it, and cause a major tank overflow onto our den floor.

Would that egg crate stuff work? Not sure how I would hold it in place though.

Any thoughts or advice???

TIA!

Jason

yup...you could cut eggcrate to fit(either with teeth going through half-hole on sides to hold it....or you should have a ridge just inside the outer plastic about .5" below top, you can cut it to rest snugly on there
