It's really weird because I have not added anything to the tank. As far as feeding they only get fed every other day. There are thousands of these in the tank. I really don't want them at all. I have a 220 gallon tank with no snails in it. I was thinking just cleaning out the tank and starting...

Alien Snails After two years my tanks is being over run by snails. They must have come from outer space. We did they come from and can someone tell how to get rid of them. I pulled all of the decorations out and then sifted the sand. the next day I could see eggs on the walls and more snails...

Thanks

I was just messing around with my photos. Thought I would share it with everyone. YouTube - 220 Tank Build.mp4

Looking good so far. Just don't put any fish in there tell it is ready. 0 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 20 Nitrate or somewhere around there.

Hey theres something growing on your rocks. lol Very Nice....

Very nice, I think I would swim in there also. Good Job. Get some more real plants.

The point of having the filter is the mechanical filtration and the biological filtration. Most of your beneficial bacteria make there home there. And the fish fiches are filter out. Carbon has it's needs as mentioned above.

It's all going good so far. The fish choices, is going to be a struggle. I know there are three types of Cichlids. Haps. Mbuma and Peacocks. I was talking to rookie and he informed me that i may need to stay with Mbuma. I have a mixed crowd already. But I think for the most part they are Mbuma...
