Why would you wanna do that? Is you tank less than 4 months old?

 

[daayda3]

Its 5mo, and there are so many its just creepy seeing them float all over the place
It makes my tank not seem 100% percent clear

Floating? Usually on the glass or rocks. Do you have any fish? Have you added live rock recently? Find a fish that you like who eats them, if you want them gone. I wouldnt try to kill them off,IMO.

No fish, no new LR...

They will die off and reach a normal population. You are experincing a population bloom. It can take 8 months to a year before they compleatly even out their numbers. It's kind of like when you get algae blooms after you first start a tank, it's normal and will even out. It's also a sign your tank is maturing.

I've gone through one "bloom" already and it looks like I might be getting another one.(diffrent species though).

I highly doubt it's pods floating in the water, they stick to the rocks and glass. Maybe just detitrius in the water? Can you get a picture?

They are too small... maybe it is just stuff that the snails dug up...
