Snails in Fuge

[Steven91]

Hey fellow reefers,

I have a sump with a refuge on my 120 with Chato in it but i have some unwanted algae in my refuge currently. I was wondering if I could put any type of snail in to eat the unwanted algae instead of me scraping it and cleaning it.

Thoughts?

Yup. Snails are fine. Just like the dt.
Cover pump inlets ato sensors etc

Awesome, any recommendations on snails for the refuge?

Same as the dt really. Herbivores and if your feeding meaty foods carnivores
Hers a good guide

More and different types of algae in a fuge means less in the dt
