Good morning all, how often do people here replenish their CUC? I am feeling like I could stand to get some more, and just wondering.

Boy is that true about snails that can not right themselves!!! My nerites also commit suicide quite often by escaping. I don't know until I hear my dog chewing on something that sounds like bricks, and it turns out to be a snail.I add to mine around every year to year and a half. Snails, at least for me, don’t have the longest life spans especially the ones that can’t right themselves!
Absolutely it can, that is why I am checking to see what others do. I do notice a few snail deaths here and there, mainly due to not being able to right themselves. I add nori just for my CUC so that when there is not enough algae to go around, they can still eat.I review my cuc at least weekly and only add to them if I feel a need. I found that to big a cuc often leads to premature death of the crew
Sounds like about what I am thinking. It's a fine line between having enough, and too much to where some will starve.2-3 times in the past 2 1/2 years.
Yes, sometimes I have to supplement with algae wafers and nori ( for my urchin) since algae tends to come and go.Sounds like about what I am thinking. It's a fine line between having enough, and too much to where some will starve.
What type of algae wafers do you use? i have never used them before, but I may. How are they for adding to the nutrients?Yes, sometimes I have to supplement with algae wafers and nori ( for my urchin) since algae tends to come and go.
Awesome, thank you.I use them sparingly and haven’t noticed any detrimental effects.
Perfect, thank you. That is where I order from as well.I place an order with John at Reefcleaners once or twice per year.
I own a red coris, it's like buying food, lol. About every 6 months, I'll buy some hermits and a few trochus/nerite snails.Good morning all, how often do people here replenish their CUC? I am feeling like I could stand to get some more, and just wondering.
oh man!! I LOVE the looks of a red coris!! But I have several corals, ( I understand they are not reef safe) And I also have a juvenile six line wrasse.I own a red coris, it's like buying food, lol. About every 6 months, I'll buy some hermits and a few trochus/nerite snails.
They are fine to corals, cuc not so much. I keep it with a few other wrasses, they don't care.oh man!! I LOVE the looks of a red coris!! But I have several corals, ( I understand they are not reef safe) And I also have a juvenile six line wrasse.
Cool, does it eat your CUC? If so, no worries. Are they sand bed sleepers?They are fine to corals, cuc not so much. I keep it with a few other wrasses, they don't care.
Occasionally a hermit becomes a tasty snack, but that's all I've seen. Shrimp are a HARD no also as they will be a more expensive snack.Cool, does it eat your CUC? If so, no worries. Are they sand bed sleepers?
