I’m restarting a 200g That has been fresh for a couple years.
A friend of mine had a few hundred pounds of live rock and I picked up about 50 pounds and put it in a bio cube. My plan was to put the rock in the 200 to seed the rest of the dry rock I’m using.
As is to be expected - this rock is covered in stuff. Lots of bristle worms, sponges and little feather dusters. I’ve seen a few bristle worms which don’t really bother me. And tons of big pods running around.
But there are a few vermetid snails as well. And I hate those. My plan is to try and squash as many as I can but a few will get by.
so my options are to use this live rock as planned and take the bad with the good. Or skip it and just stay with the dry stuff seeded with bacteria.
What would y’all do? Is the added bio diversity more important than a few snails?
