Dorso Pipes Need Cleaning??

Just happen to notice my overflow today and the white pipework is now brown....this is diatom coverage right? And do I need to pull them out and clean them off? Or just drop a few turbo snails in there??

TIA

Mine is covered in Coraline and hair algea. Odds are its just detritus and should not harm anything.

Are the snails a bad idea to put them in there then?

Im just starting to get some Coralline to grow...spot on the glass, and a few rocks are starting to look light purple. Will the snails hurt the Coralline growth or is that even an worry?


thanks

p.s. wow, that a big number on karma and posts!!

 

I find snails in my overflow all the time, they will come and go as they want.

As for the post count I need a Life (no comments John hehe)

 

I have the same overflow and was wondering the same thing....hmmm...
