OK, you have my interest. I posted a question in the new to hobby forum then found this string.

I was thinking the about using, well your basic steamer for fitering since they do a great job. I have been reading alot of stuff saying that they are good but.. there are Concerns about bugs they carry and popoluation explosions. Well most of the reading points to the population explosion wouldn't happen since the conditions would be right for it, and if they did spawn or whatever you call it, it would be a good food source.

The real concern was the bugs and such they may carry and I was wondering how to tell when or if they were clean and free prior to putting them into a reef system, either directly or via refug or sump?
