Dewey · 10-17-2003, 10:42 AM

75 gallon tank

Temp83--gravity 1.025---ph8.2---[acronym:a3edda9535="Nitrite"]no2[/acronym:a3edda9535] 0---ammonia 0---[acronym:a3edda9535="Nitrate"]no3[/acronym:a3edda9535] o----

I started to have a diatom outbreak a few days ago. So yesterday i went and got a few turbos and a few hermits. Four of each.

I acclumated everything (On a Drip) The snails dont seem to be doing very well .They have hardly moved i even had to roll a couple of them back over. Any idea ?????? Thanks Dewey

i like trochus, they are pretty fast moving also, dont get astraea snails they are horrible for falling off and not flipping back over.

The rolling over part will be a regular occurance. They usually dont fall off the glass unless they are being picked on. Hopefully your hermits wont decide your turbo's have a better house than they do and decide to evict the snail.

being picked on or to close to a power head hehehe dont take much to blow them off!! not a pun hehehe
