Got 9 conch from Petco. They do God’s work with algae and sand turnover. Although they breed like crazy.

Nice pieces. Ever shop at Low Tide in Syracuse? They have a nice selection. I live in the great white north of Potsdam.
I have to drive to Syracuse or Rochester for my corals.

Never been to Low Tide. I’ll have to check them out. Good friends with ABC Reefs. John there has helped me out a lot. There is a Rochester area Coral swap on October 14. Unfortunately I will be out of town. Would like to connect with other reefers in the area though.

Yes, ABC is a very nice shop as well. Caribbean Forest in Rochester is the bomb! The Salty Dog in Canadaigua is also a nice store. I won't make it to Rochester that week, but I did go to CNY Frag fest in Syracuse earlier this summer.

how many liters is ur tank? 9 conchs seems like alot so im guessing above 300L ?

120 gallons (450L) plus 30 sump (114 L) and a deep sand bed of 3 inches (7cm). With lots and lots of aquascape. The conch, sand sifting star, and Diamond Goby keep it looking good. But I

still vacuum the gravel in about half the weekly water changes.
