Trochus Snails Spawning

[Romulox234]

My trochus snails are spawning right now and i read online i have to stop the skimmer for a week if i want the larvae to survive, does that mean i should stop the phosban too, or just completely stop my whole sump for a week what do you guys say?

Some survived in my tank with constant skimming.

Just found this thread while searching for info on the banded trochus. Did you have any luck breeding them?

No, when they were spawning it came at a bad time for me because i had just moved and had to take down my tank and had just put it back together so running it without a skimmer would not have been too good of an idea. But i read that if you stress them or rapidly change there environments it will induce spawning,

Thanks for the info!
