Pocilipora - I'd be pretty hesitant to try something like that (I'm certainly no plumber) - though poking around in there it looks like it would probably work.

In addition, my snails have been...

Marty,

You can have as much as you want - I just ripped a whole bunch out, but if you want, I could put some of it in the sump untill you pick it up.

I don't know if you have any experience...
