You need more snails in there

Nothing alive, you said? Weird. Where'd you get the live rock?

thats what i was thinking . when i got some LR from city pets, i ended up with feather dusters and some really cool looking redish orange bristle worms and who knows what else that i can't remember right now.

I havent seen anything move in there. Thai says to wait on the snails. I dont want to make daddy mad

[cichlid1409]

be sure to check after lights out with a flashlight. thats when the cool little critters come out to play.

You could add some snails if you want. You will have to later anyhow. I have some DIBS turbo snails you can have. There is also a guy on Marsh that's always selling some. For the record, I did add my snails only a week in. It's really not a big deal on way or the other.

Snails are a must have in any reef tank, IMHO. Hermit crabs no....snails yes.

I still got this water test kit if you want to borrow it Brian.

Can you bring me some dibs tonight when you come get the light? And I will give you some Assassins in return. I broke down and bought a test kit since I will need it and dont want to bother you everytime asking.

Thanks for this thread.

I plan on doing a small sw set up soon. This should help out!

Thanks

Can't bring over any DIBS tonight cause I plan on driving over there right after work/bar. But I can bring it the next time I see you.

Ok picked up some Turbo snails. Gees they are huge I figure I am going to let them tear up the algae and once I get the DIBS from you Thai I will switch them out. They have already cleared about a quarter of the algae on the sand bed.

[myjohnson]

The full sizes one are good too.....

But yeah, I'll hook you up.

Here is all the algae and funk on the sand
