Roka & Innovator, yes they are on city water... and Southern California city water. we are in the middle of a "water emergency" where reserves of water are low so know knows what is coming out of the hose right now. Yes the whole tank was drained so we could drill the bottom and add the...

I'm helping a friend who recently bought a house with a 240gal inwall tank, upgrade it. They have a maintenance guy who works at a lfs and cleans the glass & does water changes. Last week we drained the tank, added a sump and overflow, and called the maintenance guy to fill the tank back up...

Thanks roka! I never thought of snails, and no one would really mind if they were made into a meal b/c they arent expensive. :D Im pretty sure that they REALLY want a tesselata, so I will tell them they cannot have lions... unless they want it to be eel or trigger food. I love the zebra eel...

FIRST OFF, thank you everyone for your replies... I am very new to FOWLR and have only had experience with reefs. Thank you MT79, since it is going to be over 300 gal of water in the system once we get the sump and skimmer in I dont think heatings going to be much of an issue either. I would...

I am helping a friend set up a 240 gal in wall agressive FOWLR tank. They recently bought the house with a in wall system, and it was stocked with cheap gravel, coral skeletons, plastic plants, a skunk cleaner, (No snail or hermits), a pair of gold stripe maroon clowns, a midas blenny, and...

Snails might not do much for that hair algae, try eliminting nitrates, do frequent pwcs, then maybe try an emerald crab

Ok, I will try to look for it during the day to get you better pic :)

Saw this little guy roaming around my glass last night, sorry its a night picture, but ill look for more during the day. Its been about a month, maybe month and a half since the first unidentified masses from my Nassarius' (last pic) showed up in my tank. TIA

Thanks, then I guess theres no way of stopping my serial killer hermit... If he wasn't so damn pretty I would sell him back to the lfs, so it looks like Im just gonna keep him and keep his foraging habit happy with a steady diet of snails.

Theres no chance of hitchhikers on my rocks. They were taken from my boyfriend's mantis tank when his mantis died of shell disease and were boiled before being brought to my apartment because they had aptasia all over them... LOL and i dont think they were eating the eggs because they were...

Thanks Fluff, here is a picture of my snails, and the same stuff on the glass as the in the OP's picture. Sorry its not as good as the OP's picture, I used to have like 3-4 patches of it, now the only remining cluster is in the back bottom corner which is hard to get a shot of, but I swear it...

I have an electric Blue Leg Hermit in my 6g nano... He's already killed & eaten 2 margarita snails, and I had to stop him from trying to eat my 2 nassarius'. Any Ideas why he is making meals out of my snails? Does he want a new shell (the snails shells are way too small for him) or maybe that...

I am DragonForce's Girlfriend. My tank is fairly new, Only been set up since October. And that is the exact same thing I watched my nassarius put on the glass last week. They cant be cerith snail eggs, I only have 2 nassarius' and an electric blue leg hermit, and I watched a nassaruis put...
