Also wanted to clarify this was $6 in total, two huge portions for a total of $6, crazy! I was just looking at buying these from someone on ebay it would have cost $7 +$9 shipping for a 2inch cutting.
If anyone reading this is in Georgia, go check out Premier aquatics in Marietta, great store!

Meet Brutus, the new turbo snail
I didn't want to get one because of their size, but Brutus is awesome. He been munching on algae day and night, and he's surprisingly acrobatic for his size. He managed to get some the rock to the return nozzle somehow lol. Don't know if the pics really represent his size, I'll find a golf ball for reference.

I'll be standing by to catch him when he falls lol

So...
I have an idea, I'm wondering if you all would be interested in it.
On the one year anniversary of the build thread I could do a giveaway for a pack of feather dusters, I have some growing on shells so moving them into a shipping box wouldn't be a problem. I could do it just like a normal r2r giveaway but on this thread.
Thoughts?

You might reconsider when you see how your feather duster population dwindles after the break-in period... I went from about 6,000 to 3 in a matter of days. Started with 1 or 2.

Nope! If there's food they'll stay. Mine mostly transitioned to the backside/underside of rocks and the sump. They're just harder to see/find.
