    So i stated this in my other thread as a side comment but i'm going to open up a thread here to see what I need to do to clear things up. Here's the problem, my limpet snails decided to do a mass spawning event and now my tank is a milky white, still see through but pretty white. I didn't even know that's how these things reproduced. Anyway, i have a skimmer and phosphate/carbon reactor running now and am in the process of mixing up some water for a change. Anything else I should do and what are the negative effects of this?

    Nothing negative should happen, your corals should get some free food, but I would try to do several water changes to clear it up so that your parameters don't go hay wire.

    im sure all will be okay with a water change and the reactors running.

    I sure hope so. My clam did this once before and resulted in a nice sized algae bloom.
