Yea I am going to start having approx. 3 per gallon. 2 of our reefs are in my teenage sons room and he has so much algae. I am done scrubbing his rockwork for him. Astraea dont turn themselves over.
Cheers! Mark

Wait what? You really need that much? I found that astrea snails died really easily. Perhaps they can’t right them self up? I had about 5-7 died out of the 20 I just recently got.

Oh wow. But I don’t think snails will do the job at this stage. I would just do a restart.

It is already so much better. I was thinking about a "restart" but if he continues as he is, it is only a short time before it is overgrown again. So I will keep enough snails in there to make algae grow a non-issue. Here is a pic. from tonight:

My time-line is to have the tank cleaned by snails by Christmas. The stock Bio lights are crap, so we are gifting him an AI Prime 16hd for xmas. Then he can restock with corals.

This months coral food. Went deep sea fishing today and as the deckhand was filleting our cod, I noticed a couple of them had eggs. Gonna freeze the eggs and throw some into the blender to make our nightly coral feast
