I keep my sand pretty clean but love Conches. Does anyone supplement their conches food, and if so how?

You can easily supplement feeding if there is not enough food for them in your tank. The tiger conch eats meaty items, so you could target feed them food items such as mysis or bits of minced up seafood. Use a pipette and place just a few bits in an area that won't get blown around, over time they will return to your feeding spot.

Also, you can try the big “catfish” sized sinking algae pellets. If one is too big, you can snap them in half.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
