I’ve seen the prospect of using ferric phosphate for vermetid snails in our reefs, but I haven’t been able to find a post where someone actually pulled the trigger. The thought came to me when reading Slug killer ingredients at the big box store.
From what I gather it does not dissolve in water. The big box products were baits designed to get the snail to ingest it.
I was thinking of:
1. Removing all desirable mollusks
2. Blasting reef roids to get vermetids to spray webs
3. Blasting ferric phosphate
4. Doing a bunch of water changes for a few weeks.
Thoughts?
@Randy Holmes-Farley is there a reason to be concerned about ferric phosphate?
I was going to experiment with a QT tank - unfortunately it’s in storage while we are building a new house, otherwise I’d just be posting results
