Hey all new here and had a few questions.
Just started 75 gallon freshwater tank w/ sand sub. , fishless cycling right now as i wait.
Had a few questions wondering if i could get some help
1- are there any snails or other freshwater critters that would help stir the sand but not reproduce like the trumpet snails im really trying to avoid them if i can becaus of their reproduction. I looked at olive nerita snails but couldent find info on wether or not they burrowed anywhere.
2- for filtration i have a marineland magnum 350 and some other 40 gallon HOB filter. I got the HOB filter to help w/ both filtering and aeration. My question is, is that enough aeration? should i get a powerhead to move more water. Have no air pump or air stones at all ut with the cannister and the hob filter it seems to be flowing pretty good but was curious.
Thanks
