I have 3 Peppermint shrimp and I will see if maybe I can add the smaller conch assortment.

Just one. The email from John Maloney has a link for "add to order"

Is this diatoms? Hair algea? Or both or something else? It was also on the front glass but I cleaned it off. Hoping the cuc I have ordered will eat it all...

Mine usually ends up in junk for some reason. Check there.

I think diatoms.

Found it! I'm hoping the algea will either get eaten or go away on its own with time. Do you think that's a possibility?

Yes. Mine is usually thin on the glass and the sandbed. Mictobacter 7 seems to help so I actually just ordered a new bottle last night for mine.

Amazon has it fairly cheap but make sure it's sealed. I got 4 in a row that were open.

They once sent me a filter that was broken and had been returned and even had written on the box that it was broken...

Here's the pictures from my delivery today from reef cleaners and Aqua SD very pleased with both places. Everything was packaged nicely and I really like how reef cleaners put little pieces of plastic mesh stuff for the two emeralds and the Ruby Mithrax to hold onto during shipping in their little bags. Most of the new cuc went to work almost right away.
