Okay good, really I would be happy with just a fire shrimp haha, and I was thinking just having zoas in the tank.

 

[00youknowit00]

Also what's y'all's take on turbo snails?

 

[Sincity]

I had nassarius snails and they were decent but didn't seem to move that much

I've heard good things about turbos mainly, but nassarius's come in second

 

[TLTGF]

Turbo snails are algae eaters while nassarius snails eat detritus and other nitrate producing nasties. They also primarily live in the sandbed. Both beneficial in different ways.

Got 4 pound of LR, theres probably around 4.5-5 lbs in the tank, if there was more it's look like a tank full of rocks.. Haha, think that'll be plenty?

 

[00youknowit00]

Almost forgot the pictures!!

If I absolutely have to, I might be able to get a little more in.. Preferably not though.


Theres some kind of ”plant” on some of the rock, the lady said it helps keep nitrate and phosphate down a lot? Y'all have any idea what it is?

I would maybe try and get a couple more lbs... being that u wont have actual fish ur swim space could be cut down to make more crawling room for shrimp and inverts!

Apistia?

 

[00youknowit00]

Apistia?

I dunno, I was asking you if it is, isn't that bad?

 

[Gboy66]

Hahaha ya, i meant like ? Maybe.

Yes, bad. Not like dephcon 5 bad, but annoying. They multiply quickly and can overrun coral

 

[Travis55]

I agree. And yes its a pest. Use aiptasia x. Or boiling water in a syringe.

Hmm, which of more effective?

 

[00youknowit00]

In a way I'm kind okay with it, for now, its life haha, I see a couple more things that look like they could be coral, also something that I think is a snail, I'll try and get a picture.

Here is what I think is a snail dead center, right above the substrate.



Pretty sure it is!
