Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Also, consider some dwarf Ceriths. Maybe 200 or 300... I think I did 100 in my old 125 and rarely saw them. Always under the sand (and in the bellies of my Wrasses...).
I think what I will probably do is just order one of the clean up crew packages from reef cleaners and add some conches that way I will get a little of everything.

I don't like their packages. They try to tell me what I need and it's usually not what I actually need or want. 😂

It's hard for me to cough up the shipping fee they make you pay

Well they have all the things you mentioned except the conches lol
 
Wow... It looks like they got rid of free shipping unless you purchase a cleaning package with shipping already included in the prices.
 
They have packages with free overnight shipping.
Well darn, I'm going to have to jump on that whenever we get our tank set back up!
 
I usually shop at my LFS or Petco for my CUC now. There's 3 LFS somewhat nearby me with decent enough prices and Petco has more.
 
But he would eat my corals and possibly some of my fish right?
Not a fan of the corals or fish but you'd have no more snails, crabs,shrimp, conch, hotdogs, hamburgers,....
 
Not able to join y'all as much as I'd like, especially on weekends which are so incredibly crazy 😜 😫 but I think about all of you and you're always with me no matter what...

The Snail Only isn't bad. I'd look between the 37 Gallon Cube and 50 Gallon crew for your tank. Add 1 or 2 of the Assorted Smaller Conches
