I’m going to have to start getting rid of some of these Stomatella snails soon…they’re becoming a problem. I probably have over 100. Started with 2 about 4 months ago

Why? (get rid of stomatella snails)
Is that the sump? Seems like you'd want them eating the algae that I think I see on the glass.
*can't tell much from the picture but assume they're truly stomatella and you've already identified

I only clean the front glass. I let the sides and back go for weeks at a time. Gives the copepods something to do. And I don’t mean get rid of ALL of them but if they’re going to be prolific breeders I might as well get some store credit or make some money off them. I had a few in my old system but they never reproduced.

Ahh,,, I see. I'd call that uptown problems. (Would happily take some off your hands if I was local)
