Aquarium Advice Activist
So I wrote a post in the reef aquaria about my bro-in-law that said that corals count as your 'animals per gallon' rule..he was wrong. (*snicker*)
Last night he is telling me there is too much going on in my tank and that it is headed for DOOM! He said I have too many snails and blue legged crabs. (the 1/4 inch ones) I have about 6 crabs and about 8-10 snails. (tank is over 6 feet long and short, 80 gallon)
They clean up my algae and eat the left overs on the bottom. In-law says they will eat all of the good things on my live rock and I should get rid of them asap.
He also said I am going to kill everything in my tank a few times, only the damsels will live. (you can check my info about my tank specifics)
NOW- I check everything daily. I am on this site daily talking to all of you WONDERFULLY helpful vets that know what to do. My water parameters are great, tank is clean, fish are happy etc etc.
Why is he trying to discourage me like this!? I am being very meticulous with my tank and I think I am doing a great job for a newbie! (so there)
