Make sure you QT those!!!!!!!!!

I know you've been working hard to QT your fish. Those snails can definately bring in unwanted parasites.

My lfs runs them in their owns system not even close to fish, covered systems. And I called their supplier direct and they dont have fish in their invest systems either.

They havent gotten new inverts in 3 weeks. Should be ok? Smh.. I only get inverts from them for that reason.

 

[RichtheReefer21]

They're already in... fingers crossed

 

[HotRocks]

I mean, I hope they are telling you the truth. If you trust the LFS and can physically see what goes on there that is great. Their supplier is another story. If they are in, they are in. My fingers are crossed for ya!

Yeah, my lfs tanks are all out to see.. the invert tanks are very obviously all by themselves in a corner... covered. 4 invert tanks on 1 sump by itself, no fish. Fingers crossed.

I know they havent gotten inverts in because I go weekly when they get deliveries.

The snails???

 

[RichtheReefer21]

The snails???

Yep. Pretty astounding. We will see if they can keep up, if not, I'll add another 30-40. If that doesn't work, vibrant is gonna be my last resort.

 

[Fudsey]

I have a bunch of snails and I have yet had to clean the back glass of my tank and I have no algae right now (knock on wood) anywhere. I gave a bunch of large ones that came from my last tank that just motor all over.

Where are you located Rich? And for $30 I'd go get at least one of those red and white gorgonians. I wish someone around here had one

I've had this freckled green/orange BTA for 3 months. Its 10inches down under Hydra26hd's 10inches fron surface, running 95% blue purples and 20%CW. 9 hours a day on, no moon. Lowish flow... never inflates, is smaller than when I bought it (was inflated in the store and double the size) clowns pay it no attention.

Nothing near it to sting.

It gets fed mysis and lrs frenzy nano every 4 days. Hasnt moved in months. Anything u can think of so I can get some growth and inflation of the bubble tips?

Nope other side of state, in between Manchester and seacoast. I don't know much about Coral RX so I am unsure about that one. I did dip my purple one in Brightwell's KoralMD
