Hello all. New here. Have had a 26 gallon bow front I acquired from and old coworker about 8 years ago.
Had recent issues that I've been fixing for the last month plus and have been learning so much. I've heard this is the place to go for info and help so here I am.
Came with 1 clownfish and 1 blackcap basslet. And 8 years later they're still doing great even with the issues I'm fixing like a salinity drop and high nitrates. Getting them both under control finally and about to purchase a clean up crew this weekend.
Going for 4 each of nassarius, Astraea and cerith snails.
Been an interesting month and an expensive month. Have had to replace heater, refugium light, add couple powerheads, main tank light bar, Chaeto, etc etc etc
Anyway, enough rambling from me now.

Welcome to Reef2Reef, the greatest community out of water!
 
Wlecome! You're choices in snails are perfect. You can even go more in that aquarium.
Thanks although I had to get nerites instead of cerith since my LFS didn't have them.
But they're eating away now so hopefully within couple weeks I need to supplement with algae wafers
