Is there any reason to fear snails in my sump/refugium? They might migrate over to my RP, or go over to my skimmer. My OF tube is covered by a filter sock.
Well, they can get stuck in a pump. May I ask why they would be in there to begin with? Even in a refugium your goal is to keep it free of predators, to include that of the algae.
If you have filter socks on the line coming into the sump, there should be no clean up at all. When I ran my sump without one, the amount of junk built up was outrageous to the point where some snails wouldn't have solved the issue. I actually took it offline and had to clean the entire thing out.
