Regular tiger conch activities ??

[ngbski_]

Got this tiger conch a few days ago and it seems to like going up the glass n I mean UP the glass breaking water level a bit. It first strolled through the sand up into my clowns favorite spot , pretty sure it fell lol (never seen it climb down), but I woke up to it across the sand, stood there throughout half the day then started moving up the glass again, next I seen it on the sand going over a rock, and now it’s night & it’s broken water level again in 2 corners. Lmk I use reef crystals at 1.023 salinity I heard something about magnesium causing lethargy/death.

1.023 might be a little low for some inverts....I don't know about these guys in particular, but it seems irritated IMO.

Can you give us the rest of your water test numbers including water temperature?

Also, how do you clean and filter the tank?

Ammonia 0.1 (idk I’ve cycled the tank 6 weeks and have had 2 clowns in for another 2 months after that now it seems to always show around 0 or 0.1)
Nitrite always 0
Nitrate ~15
Temp 78 steadily
8 ph
DKH honestly have to check in the morning I haven’t in a while

Yea off a quick search 1.023 does seem to be on the low end I just went for the middle ground cuz I seen fowlr’s are good 1.021-1.025. Smh should I return him to an lfs Im not tryna hurt any of em (have 1 of each, Trochus, astrea, nassarius, tiger conch)

Filter with a fluval ac70 (course sponge, thinner sponge, ceramic beads, purigen replaced once a month, filter floss replaced once a week which is when I do water changes)
