I have a question

My astrea snails finished all the algae in my aquarium... what should I do now?

You can feed them bits of nori rubberbanded to a rock. More algae is coming; no worries.

Ain't that the truth!!! I usually find that my snails do such a good job and a few die off and then there's a direct correlation to the increase in algae when that happens and then I just buy a few more snails and it's a constant cycle. Luckily the snails are only a few bucks so it's not a big issue for me to buy more... Plus it gives me a great excuse to visit my LFS's again ;Woot
