I current have 1 CBS and 10 cerith Snails in my display that I have begun to fallow. I have some Coraline algae in there too. I'd like to eradicate my spionid worms aswell, but in order to do that I'd need to have no food come to the bottom. Another thing is if I have no nitrates...won't dinoflagellates take over the tank? What can I do?
My thinking is use a piece of jumbo shrimp to produce ammonia, which will then be turned into nitrate, but keep the shrimp at the top part of the water so the worms won't get it. And then when I have to feed the living cbs I'll use a tweezer and direct feed him a piece of food.
Also how often should I do water changes on a fallowing tank?
Could this work?
